Abstract: Wave staff data from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Floating Breakwater Prototype Test Program in Puget Sound, Wash., are analyzed for wave grouping. Most previous studies have focussed on ocean conditions, where fetches, ...

Abstract: Experimental evidence shows that two commonly-used estimates of significant wave height behave differently during the shoaling process. Further, the estimates behave differently for monochromatic and irregular wave conditions. ...

Abstract: Characteristics of groups of high ocean waves are studied in varying water depths using field measurements and laboratory simulations. Field data were collected from a shore‐perpendicular line of gages at the Coastal ...

Abstract: Wave height parameters used in coastal and ocean engineering are grouped into three classes according to their definition bases: height statistics, energy, and monochromatic. Parameters within each class are easily ...

Abstract: Approaches for recreating hurricane surface winds in relation to ocean wave, surge, and current modeling are reviewed. A discrete numerical wind field model, based on original developments at New York University in the ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional, physical model study of wave diffraction around a semi-infinite breakwater was conducted using a directional spectral wave generator. Both regular and irregular waves with narrow and broad frequency ...

Abstract: The numerical wave model HARBD has been used extensively within and outside the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for estimating waves in harbors. The model was originally developed for long waves (harbor oscillations). It has ...
