A two dimensional numerical model of Hansen type tS used to
investigate the influence of the basin shape and water frlctlon on the
tidal motion in a closed basin. Different shapes have been consldered
as a single rectangular basin, L-shaped and two connected rectangular
basins. Each parameter contrlbutes a slgnlflcant influence on the
tldal characteristics. Moreover, the tidal regime in each basln is
affected with the adjacent basin through compiling co-osclilations.
