Abstract: The main objective of a project is to verify the requirements and target levels for values of reliability, functionality, and operationality during the useful life of the structure. Such requirements should be provided by ...

Abstract: The stability of a cubic armored breakwater head and trunk under monochromatic wave trains is experimentally studied. For the head there is a sector, roughly of 60°, where the unit stability is minimum. The stability ...

Abstract: This study presents field observations and numerical modeling of surface seiche formations on a shallow reservoir in a complex terrain (Rules Reservoir, Spain). The influence of the surrounding topography on the atmospheric ...

Abstract: An analytical solution for waves propagating through a horizontal porous plate of finite thickness is obtained. The objective of the plate is to reduce the incident short-wave energy and the long-wave energy as well. ...

Abstract: A new expression for the function describing the distribution of the maximum wave height in a sea state is obtained by fitting numerical simulated data, and checked with some physical data measured off the Norwegian and ...

Abstract: The influence of wave reflection and energy dissipation by breaking and by porous flow induced by a permeable submerged structure on second-order mean quantities such as mass flux, energy flux, radiation stress, and mean ...

Abstract: An analytical study to develop correlations between wave characteristics and longshore sediment transport along the perimeter of the Adra River Delta (Spain) has been carried out. Wave characteristics are based on visual ...

Abstract: The linear theory for waves impinging obliquely on a vertical, porous breakwater with an impermeable crown is examined. The wave‐induced flow within the breakwater is modeled by the 1972 theory of Sollitt and Cross. Using ...
