Abstract
The paper discusses the Earth rotation impact on the asymmetry of tidal wave evolution in the curvilinear convergent bays with the right bend (against the earth rotation direction) and with the left bend (in the direction of the earth rotation). The laboratory modeling on the rotating setup shows that the effect of the curvature of convergent bays can have an influence on the asymmetry of the right and left bays and the amplitude of the tide in the right bays maybe approximately 1.5 times higher than in the left bays. The asymmetry of the tidal amplitude in the curvilinear convergent bays is explained based on the potential vorticity conservation law, resulting in additional friction and dissipation of the energy of the tidal wave in the left bays in comparison to the right bays.
