Abstract: Under a standing wave two types of bed response can occur depending on the relative size of the sediment: L-type, which occurs for relatively fine sediment, and “N-type,” which occurs for relatively coarse sediment. The ...

Abstract: Wave reflection from coastal structures is defined by the magnitude and phase of the reflected wave. Both properties have a profound impact on the wave kinematics and coastal processes in front of the structure. This paper ...

Abstract: Experimental results of irregular wave reflection from impermeable walls and rubble mound breakwaters suggest that there is a characteristic form of wave reflection spectrum. The results indicate that the reflection ...

Abstract: Vertical profile of longitudinal velocity in vegetated channels reflects complex mechanics of flow-vegetation interactions and determines the bulk flow velocity and flow rate. Most available models of velocity profiles in ...

Abstract: An analytical model is presented for the transverse vibration of a semi‐infinite beam due to forced longitudenal harmonic motion at the end. The model is applied to the “snaking” behavior of a floating hose‐string attached ...
