Model for Decay of Random Waves in Surf Zone
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A model for the decay of random waves in the surf zone that requires transformation of only one representative wave height [root-mean square (RMS)] without making any assumption about the shape of the probability-density ...
Model of Beach Profile Change under Random Waves
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A numerical model is developed to calculate the average net cross-shore transport rate and beach profile evolution under random waves. Cross-shore transport formulas for random waves are derived by superimposing the transport ...
Elastic Properties of Pipe Materials during Hydraulic Transients
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The effect of hydraulic transients on water and sewage pipes is studied by measuring the pressure and the strain in pipes simultaneously during field conditions. Both the axial and circumferential strains were recorded for ...
Accuracy of Equivalent Roughness Height Formulas in Practical Applications
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a discussion on the application and accuracy of roughness height formulas from a practical point of view. Such formulas have been proposed to describe the equivalent roughness height for plane bed ...
Analysis of Scour around a Group of Vertical Piles in the Field
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A study of the scour around a group of piles in the field exposed to oscillatory waves was carried out. The main purpose was to derive simple predictive formulas for the geometric properties of the scour hole in terms of ...
Modeling of Mixing by Turbulent Jet in Stably Stratified Fluid
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A model that describes the density-profile evolution in a confined region with a stably stratified fluid, where mixing is induced by a circular, nonswirling turbulent jet discharged vertically down into the fluid is presented ...
Wave Damping in Reed: Field Measurements and Mathematical Modeling
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Wave damping in vegetation in shallow lakes reduces resuspension and thereby improves the light climate and decreases nutrient recycling. In this study, wave transformation in reed (
Model of Nearshore Waves and Wave-Induced Currents around a Detached Breakwater
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A numerical model that combines a random wave transformation and a wave-induced current model was developed in order to predict the wave and current fields around a detached breakwater. The wave field was determined using ...
Numerical Model of Longshore Current for Bar and Trough Beaches
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper describes a numerical modeling system called NMLONG that was developed to calculate the wave height, wave direction, mean water level, and steady‐state time‐averaged longshore current velocity across a multiple ...
Measurements of the Velocity Field Downstream of an Impeller
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The velocity field downstream of a model impeller operating in water was measured using a two-component laser doppler velocimeter. The investigation focussed on the spatial development of the ...
