Definition of Tidal currents:
Tidal currents are formed by the gravitational forces of the sun, the moon and the planets. These currents are of oscillatory nature with typical periods of around 12 or 24 hours, the so-called semi-diurnal and diurnal tidal currents. [1].
This is the common definition for Tidal currents, other definitions can be discussed in the article
