Scientific paper

A detailed treatment of tide-generating forces is given, followed by a simplified dynamic theory of tidal waves. To clarify the underlying physics, we use a simple model of the ocean that consists of a water shell of uniform depth completely covering the globe. The treatment is appropriate for college and university undergraduate students studying introductory geophysics or astronomy, general physics, or intermediate mechanics. A computer simulation is developed to aid in understanding the properties of sun- or moon-induced tide-generating forces and of the stationary tidal waves created by these forces in the open ocean.
