Abstract
A finite difference solution for two-dimensional nonlinear hydrodynamic equations is obtained to model the tides and tidal currents in the Taiwan Strait. The major semidiurnal waves are computed simultaneously. The agreement between the computed results and the observed data is considered satisfactory. The distributions of tides and tidal currents are illustrated.
