Modeling the Interaction of Water Waves with Porous Coastal Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The mathematical modeling of the interaction of water waves with porous coastal structures has continuously been among the most relevant challenges in coastal engineering research and practice. Finding a tool to better ...
Sensitivity of Storm Surge Predictions to Atmospheric Forcing during Hurricane Isaac
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Storm surge and overland flooding can be predicted with computational models at high levels of resolution. To improve efficiency in forecasting applications, surge models often use atmospheric forcing from parametric vortex ...
Laboratory Study on Erosion of Vegetated HPTRM System under High-Speed Open-Channel Flow
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: High-performance turf reinforcement mat (HPTRM) is a technology to strengthen the vegetation lining and enhance its anti-erosion capability. Existing studies on the erosion resistance of vegetated HPTRM systems are mainly ...
Optimization of Spacing for Oscillating Wave Surge Converter Arrays Using Genetic Algorithm
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The oscillating wave surge converter (OWSC) is a type of ocean wave power device typically consisting of a flap, or arm, hinged at the bottom to allow forward and backward movement by surging waves, and is efficient in ...
In Situ Assessment of Sediment Erosion and Consolidation State Using a Free-Fall Penetrometer: Sydney Harbour, Nova Scotia
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Two in situ geotechnical surveys were undertaken in Sydney Harbour, Nova Scotia, Canada, following the dredging and relocation of 4.2 million m3 of sediment from the shipping channel during the fall and winter of late 2011 ...
Validation of Container Ship Squat Modeling Using Full-Scale Trials at the Port of Fremantle
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper, selected results are presented from a set of recent full-scale trials measuring the dynamic sinkage, trim, and heel of 16 container ship transits entering and leaving the Port of Fremantle, Western Australia. ...
Erosion Stability of Wide-Graded Quarry-Stone Material under Unidirectional Current
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Scour protection around hydraulic structures in fluvial, estuarine, and coastal waters is an essential component of a meaningful and durable design. The continuous optimization of scour protection systems and design ...
Infragravity Waves at a Dissipative Shore with Multiple Bars: Recent Evidence
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents more precise evidence on the existence of infragravity waves at a dissipative coastal segment of the Baltic Sea in Poland. The waves were identified with recorded water levels from four gauges in close ...
