Numerical simulations of tides in Ontario Lacus

Primary tabs

Tidal amplitude and currents of Ontario Lacus have been simulated with SLIM (Second-generation Louvain-la-Neuve Ice-ocean Model, http://sites.uclouvain.be/slim/ ) which resolves 2D shallow water equation on an unstructured mesh. The tide generating force modeled in this work is the gradient of tidal potential due to titan's obliquity and titan's orbital eccentricity around Saturn (other contribution such as sun tide generating force are unheeded). The uncertainies about input parameters such as bottom friction and bathymetry are investigated.
