Experimental Study of a Horizontal Jet in a Wavy Environment
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The flow field of a neutrally buoyant turbulent round jet discharged horizontally into a wavy environment was investigated. A set of experiments applying the laser induced fluorescence technique was conducted to measure ...
Statistical Modeling of Overtopping for Extreme Waves on Fixed Deck
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A statistical model is developed to predict wave overtopping of extreme waves on a fixed deck. The probability density function for the volume of overtopping water is based on the truncated Weibull distribution with the ...
Dispersion of Neutrally Buoyant Horizontal Round Jet in Wave Environment
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The behavior of a neutrally buoyant turbulent round jet located at the middepth discharging horizontally into a shallow water wave environment was investigated. Regular progressive waves with relatively small wave amplitudes ...
Noise of Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter Data in Bubbly Flows
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Acoustic Doppler velocimeter (ADV) measurements are useful and powerful for measurements of mean and turbulent components of fluids in both hydraulic experimental facilities and fields. However, it is difficult to use the ...
Parameterization of Neutrally Buoyant Horizontal Round Jet in Wave Environment
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The present study is to parameterize the influence of regular progressive waves on the diffusion of a neutrally buoyant turbulent round jet experimentally. The jet, located at the middepth, discharges into the wave field ...
Real-Time Prediction of Tsunami Magnitudes in Osaka Bay, Japan, Using an Artificial Neural Network
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study examined the validity of using an artificial neural network (ANN) to predict tsunami water levels at several locations in Osaka Bay. The metropolitan areas of Osaka Bay have short warning times for tsunamis; a ...
Spatiotemporal Characteristics of Near-Bed Pressure Gradients on a Barred Beach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Observations of the cross-shore variations of pressure gradients measured on a fixed barred beach in a large-scale laboratory wave flume are presented in this paper. The wave-induced components (0.1–1.0 Hz) of the free ...
Effect of Climate Change on Performance-Based Design of Caisson Breakwaters
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a method to incorporate the effect of climate change on the performance-based design of a caisson breakwater and its application to the East Breakwater of the Port of Hitachinaka in Honshu, Japan. The ...
