Model and Algorithm for Vessel Scheduling through a One-Way Tidal Channel
(ASCE, 1/1/2020 1)Efficient vessel scheduling through a channel can improve the operational efficiency of ports. Additionally, many large vessels with a deep draft have delays related to tidal cycles when passing through tidal channels. ... -
Oblique Wave Scattering by a Symmetric Trench Submerged Beneath an Ice Cover
(ASCE, 1/1/2020 1)A mathematical model of the interaction of an oblique wave and rectangular submarine trench in an ice-covered ocean is given using linearized potential theory. The motion in the fluid is characterized by velocity potentials, ... -
Local Scour Mechanism around Dynamically Active Marine Structures in Noncohesive Sediments and Unidirectional Current
(ASCE, 1/1/2020 1)This paper sheds light on the mechanism of post equilibrium sea bed scour around dynamically active marine structures such as wind turbines. Exposure of a fully developed scour hole (at equilibrium state) around a wind ... -
Simple Wave Breaking Depth Index Formula for Regular Waves
(ASCE, 1/1/2020 1)A simple formula to determine the wave breaking depth index for regular waves is proposed. In the literature, there are several formulas for determining the breaker depth index, which, over the years, have gradually evolved ... -
Simple Approach to Long-Term Morphodynamics of the River Delta Applied to the Vistula River Outlet
(ASCE, 1/1/2020 1)This paper deals with the evolution of the engineered mouth of the Vistula River, Poland, influencing the growth of its delta. The considered delta is a coastal form typical for semiclosed nontidal seas, like the Baltic. ... -
Design and Construction Risks for a Shipping Port and Container Terminal: Case Study
(ASCE, 1/1/2020 1)This paper presents the risk identification process, a checklist of 215 different risks, and an associated risk breakdown structure (RBS) for the design and construction phases for a shipping port and associated container ... -
Effect of Debris Damming on Wave-Induced Hydrodynamic Loads against Free-Standing Buildings with Openings
(ASCE, 1/1/2020 1)Tsunamis, impulse waves, and dam-break waves are rare but catastrophic events, associated with casualties and damage to infrastructures. An adequate description of these waves is vital to assure human safety and to generate ... -
New Queuing Theory Applied to Port Terminals and Proposal for Practical Application in Container and Bulk Terminals
(ASCE, 1/1/2020 1)Queueing theory has been used in port management since the early 60s as a support, among others, to determine the optimal number of berths based on the occupation rate of the berths and the expected waiting time for vessels ... -
Influence of Edge Waves on Tsunami Characteristics along Kujukuri Beach, Japan
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)The 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami generated a massive tsunami that devastated Kujukuri Beach in Chiba Prefecture, Japan. The possibility that edge waves were involved in the propagation mechanism of the tsunami was ... -
Effects of Fines Content and Relative Density on Erosion and Recession of Predominantly Sandy Beach–Bluff System
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)Exploratory experiments including a series of flume and geotechnical tests were conducted to assess the effects of fines content and relative density on the erosion and recession of predominantly sandy beach and bluff. The ... -
Solitary Wave Interacting with a Submerged Circular Plate
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)The interaction between a solitary wave and a submerged circular plate of a finite thickness was investigated in this study. Analytical solutions based on the linear long wave theory were first derived to serve as the ... -
Computational Tool for Sizing and Optimization of Planimetric Geometric Parameters of Inland Navigation Channels and of Port Access in Brazil
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)The design of an access channel is based on regulations and recommendations from each country after considering natural and vessel-related criteria and characteristics, always focusing on navigation safety. This paper ... -
Probabilistic Estimates of Tsunami Risk for Small Craft Marinas
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)Since the 2006 Kuril Islands tsunami, California small craft marinas have sustained over $100 million in total damage from tsunami events. Surveys conducted after the 2006 Kuril Islands and 2011 Japan tsunamis indicated ... -
Wave–Structure Interactions of Flexible Bags with Elastic Tendons: Application to Wave Energy Conversion
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)A new type of wave energy device has recently been proposed with the key component being a flexible air-filled bag, which is constructed such that the fabric is encased by an array of tendons. The behavior of the bag in ... -
Evaluation Methodology of Laminar-Turbulent Flow State for Fluidized Material with Special Reference to Submarine Landslide
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)Submarine landslides have destroyed many ocean engineering facilities and induced catastrophic tsunamis, causing considerable loss of lives and properties. However, the evolution process of submarine landslides is highly ... -
