On the Electric Field due to Tides III

Abstract

In this paper the author will discuss briefly some results of theoretical work carried out by Dr. Longuet-Higgins, Dr. Malkus and others (Section 2). The theory of field due to streams of elliptical cross-sction will also be described (Section 3), and a method of generalization of this theory will be discussed (Section 4). In Section 5 the results of numerical computation concerning the streams of elliptical cross-section will be shown, and in Section 6 the approximate relation between the mean velocity and potential difference will be discussed for two types of streams.
