The Experiments Reducing W R Local Lorentz Linearization ( L ~ 110 km << L MAX ) Different Types of Equilibria Comparison with data Global Lorentz Linearization (L ~ 100 km ~ L MAX ) Experiment 1: Experiment 2:

Maximum Embayment Length Figure A1. The dimensionless frictional length scale Lf =Lg of the M2 tide versus the dimensionless length of the em-bayment. Here Lg is the frictionless tidal wavelength and Lf has been computed using (A2) with = 0 : 6. The water depths Hf and Hmax are determined by the characteristics of the morphodynamic equilibrium. The intersection of these curves with the solid curve determines the maximum embayment length Lmax.

Frictionally Dominated Equilibrium

“External” Equilibrium Plate 2. Contour plots of the dominant contributions to the net sediment flux (defined in (11)) for the morphodynamic equilibrium that owes its existence to the presence of external overtides. Dependent variables are the dimensionless coordinate x and the length scale ratio L=Lg. Here Figure 2a shows us Cs, Figure 2b shows us ^ Cs, Figure 2c shows u 2c C 2c, and Figure 2d shows ^ u 2c C 2c. The scaling for the fluxes is identical to that in Figure 5. Here = 0 :1 5, other parameter values are as in Table 3.
