The governing equations of tidal flow are solved for a two dimensional domain using the finite element method. The appropriate vertically integrated differential equations are replaced by an equivalent set of integral equations which result in a coupled matrix relationship. Three time stepping schemes are investigated. These are the Adams-Moulton multi-step predictor corrector process, the trapezoidal finite difference integration scheme, and the finite element in time. The algorithm is used to predict long wave forms, in rectangular channels arising from tidal variations and constant wind forces. The tidal propagation in the southern North Sea is also presented.
