Characterization of Circulation and Salinity Change in Galveston Bay
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Circulatory change and alteration of salinity in Galveston Bay is investigated numerically by using a three‐dimensional hydrodynamic and transport model. Galveston Bay is an extremely complex and dynamic estuarine system. ...
Diffraction of Solitary Waves by Breakwaters
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The diffraction of solitary waves around the end of a straight, thin breakwater in water of uniform depth is investigated. Results of normal and oblique interactions between solitary waves and a breakwater are presented. ...
Comparative Case Study of Rainfall-Runoff Modeling between SWMM and Fuzzy Logic Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A comprehensive hydrological model, like the storm water management model (SWMM), has been widely used for rainfall-runoff simulation. In recent years, simple and effective modern modeling techniques have also brought great ...
Water Waves on Flexible and Porous Breakwaters
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This is a theoretical study of the reflection and transmission of small‐amplitude waves by a flexible, porous, and thin beam‐like breakwater held fixed in the seabed. The fluid motion is idealized as a linearized, ...
Interaction between a Solitary Wave and a Fixed Partially Submerged Body with Two Extended Porous Walls
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Approximate analytical solutions that can be applied effectively to describe the wave transformation of a solitary wave propagating past a partially submerged stationary body of rectangular shape with two attached side ...
Scattering of Water Waves by a Floating Body with Two Vertically Attached Porous Walls
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this study, the scattering focused hydrodynamic interaction between linear waves and a proposed structural system with a floating body and two attached vertical porous walls was investigated analytically and experimentally. ...
Free‐Surface Flow Produced by Accelerating Vertical Cylinder
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A series of experiments has been carried out to study the flow around an impulsively accelerating vertical cylinder in an open channel with constant water depth. The impulsive motion of the vertical cylinder is set off by ...
Generation of Three-Dimensional Fully Nonlinear Water Waves by a Submerged Moving Object
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper describes a numerical investigation on the generation of three-dimensional (3D) fully nonlinear water waves by a submerged object moving at speeds varied from subcritical to supercritical conditions in an unbounded ...
Interaction of Solitary Waves with a Submerged Impermeable Breakwater
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A combined analytical and experimental investigation of solitary waves interacting with a submerged impermeable breakwater is presented in this study. To the leading order of approximation, the integral forms of the ...
Study of Environmental Fluid Mechanics Using State-of-the-Art Experimental Techniques and Instrumentation
