Two types of apparatus are described for laboratory modeling of tidal deformation. Plane deformation occurs in the first, and the model of the body has the shape of an elliptical cylinder; in the second three-dimensional deformation occurs, and the model is spheroidal in shape. In both cases displacements simulating motion of the tidal wave are assigned on the boundary. A global mechanism of directed mass transfer has been discovered. It is connected with transformation of vertical displacements to horizontal ones. The internal particles describe almost closed trajectories in one complete rotation of the tidal wave, but do not return to their original position. Residual displacements accumulate with increasing number of cycles and lead to differential rotation of internal masses. Questions surrounding experimental measurement of energy dissipation and the role of an internal rigid core are investigated. The effect of directed transfer on the physical fields of planets is discussed.
