 note = {The tidal flow in Kagoshima Bay is numerically simulated by the horizontally
two-dimensional subdomain finite element method with the two-step Lax-Wendroff time
stepping scheme. The bay is divided into quadrilateral elements. The real depth at every node
is determined from the chart. At the open boundary, the water surface is forced to be oscillatory
with the period of 12.5 hours.
Stable solutions were obtained after four tidal periods. In the calculated tidal residual flow
pattern, an anti-clockwise and a clockwise vortices appear in the north of the open boundary
and a large anti-clockwise vortex in the center of the bay. The numerical result that the water
flows northward along the east coast and southward along the west coast in the center of the bay
agrees with the oceanographical observations and the distribution of planktons.},
