Abstract: This paper presents an exact solution for nonlinear shallow-water waves on an f plane. It is a long wave satisfying the hydrostatic balance. It is also a solitary wave maintained by the balance of a dispersion effect of ...

Abstract: The concept of the in?out-type exchange flow in estuaries only applies to situations with significant freshwater discharge and/or elongated channels with relatively simple variations in depth and coastline along the channel. ...

Abstract: With an analytic model, this paper describes the subtidal circulation in tidally dominated channels of different lengths, with arbitrary lateral depth variations. The focus is on an important parameter associated with the ...

Abstract: AbstractAtmospheric cold fronts provide recurring forcing for circulations and long-term transport in estuaries with microtides. Multiple horizontal ADCPs were used to obtain time series data from three inlets in Barataria ...

Abstract: The effective utilization of lowgrade energy sources generated from steelmaking processes provides not only excellent opportunities for low cost power generation but also a significant means for the reduction of greenhouse ...

Abstract: Pilot flames have been widely used for flame stabilization in low-emission gas turbine combustors. Effects of pilot flame on dynamic instabilities, however, are not well understood. In this work, the dynamic interactions ...

Abstract: AbstractAn unmanned surface vehicle (USV) was designed and constructed to operate continuously for covering both flood and ebb and preferably a complete tidal cycle (e.g., ~24 h) to measure the vertical profiles of horizontal ...
