After the validation with the field observations, the experimental results are analyzed, and it is shown that： （1） the greater initial ebb velocity or the larger initial water depth impedes the tidal bore propagation, （2） the maximum bore height appears at an initial ebb velocity in the range of 0.5 m/s-l.5 m/s. （3） when the Froude number exceeds 1.2, an undular bore appears, atter it exceeds 1.3, a breaking bore occurs, and after it exceeds 1.7, the bore is broken.展开更多
