Evolution of Gravel Beach Profiles
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An experiment was conducted in a wave flume to examine the processes of gravel beach profile evolution under irregular waves. Two erosion tests were performed on a steep slope of
Wave Overtopping and Overwash of Dunes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Wave-induced overwash of sand dunes may cause rapid profile changes and possible dune destruction, thus increasing the flood risk landward of dunes. Accurate modeling of the wave overwash processes is therefore essential ...
Field Measurements and Numerical Simulations of Deep-Draft Vessel-Wake Hydrodynamics in a Shallow-Bay System
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Large vessels traversing waterways and bays generate wakes that influence near- and far-field hydrodynamics as well as erosion and sedimentation. A better understanding of these dynamics is important for optimized ship ...
Placed Rock as Protection against Erosion by Flow down Steep Slopes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The additional resistance to erosion due to flows down steep slopes that can be achieved by placing rock instead of dumping randomly has been quantified during a large-scale flume investigation. Testing was undertaken for ...
