Abstract
We consider the general tidal forces on Earth, which leads to the tidal potential. This leads to the governing equations used in a shallow-water model to predict tides, the so-called "Laplace Tidal Equations" for tidal flow described as a barotropic two-dimensional sheet flow. We numerically simulate these Laplace Tidal Equations by solving PDEs in Python.
