Abstract: We present a comparative study of the twodimensional linear and nonlinear vertical and horizontal wave forces and overturning moment due to the unsteady flow of an inviscid, incompressible fluid over a fully submerged ...

Abstract: Recent natural extreme events, such as Hurricane Ike in the U.S. (2008), Tohoku tsunami in Japan (2011), and Typhoon Haiyan in Southeast Asia (2013), have caused significant damage to the decks of coastal bridges. The ...

Abstract: Diffraction and refraction of nonlinear shallow water waves due to uneven bathymetry are studied by use of the Green–Naghdi (GN) equations in three dimensions. A numerical wave tank consisting of deep, transitional, and ...
