Abstract: To solve the equation of motion for a turbulent oscillatory boundary layer, a suitable eddy viscosity model and its parameters are needed. The Businger-Arya type of eddy viscosity model, where the form of the eddy viscosity ...

Abstract: In 2009, Typhoon Morakot made landfall in central Taiwan causing significant damage to property on the island. The Linbian Creek Basin, located in southern Taiwan, which suffered from destructive flooding, was selected as ...

Abstract: A data-driven prediction model using numerical solutions is proposed for forecasting wave heights along shipping routes during hurricanes. The developed model can be used to determine the wave heights on a ship’s trajectory, ...

Abstract: A finite-element method (FEM) is used to simulate water wave propagation with large angle incidence at exterior boundaries. In this paper, the radiation boundary condition is expanded to a second-order approximation and a ...

Abstract: In this study, a finite element method proposed by Hsu et al. in 2003 is extended to develop a numerical model for the simulation of wave transformation in the surf zone. The governing equation is the elliptic mild-slope ...

Abstract: An experimental study of a turbulent round jet discharged into a regular wave field is presented. The particle image velocimetry (PIV) technique was employed to measure instantaneous velocity fields of the flow. Quantitative ...

Abstract: This work investigated the effect of a porous and flexible barrier and undulating bottom on wave attenuation in a two-layer stratified fluid under the action of oblique wave incidence, using small amplitude and structural ...
