Comparison of the SIMAR-WANA, ERA-5, and Waverys Databases for Maritime Climate Estimations and the Implications of Coastal Protection Structures
(ASCE, 2024/01/01)Estimating maritime climate accurately is essential to ensure the safety of marine structures. The most reliable data are in situ measurements, but due to the lack of this kind of data in both time and space, other datasets, ... -
Relating Geotechnical Sediment Properties and Erodibility at a Sandy Beach
(ASCE, 2024/07/01)Geotechnical sediment properties, morphological change, and hydrodynamics were measured as part of the During Nearshore Event Experiment (DUNEX) in October 2021 at the sandy Atlantic side beach in Duck, North Carolina. In ... -
Ranking Ports by Vessel Demand for Depth
(ASCE, 2024/01/01)The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) traditionally uses two metrics to evaluate the maintenance of coastal navigation projects: tonnage at the associated port (representing relative importance) and the controlling depth ... -
Forecasting Sediment Accumulation in the Southwest Pass with Machine-Learning Models
(ASCE, 2024/03/01)Connecting the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico, the Southwest Pass (SWP) is one of the most highly utilized commercial waterways in the United States. Hard-to-predict accumulation of sediments in the SWP affects ... -
Tracking of Small Discrete Objects Submerged in Surf and Swash Zones on Sand Beaches
(ASCE, 2023/11/01)An experiment was conducted in a wave flume to measure the trajectories of 20 small objects (gravel and microplastics) in the surf and swash zones on an equilibrium beach and a nourished foreshore beach with erosion and ... -
Hydrodynamic Forces Acting on a Cylinder Towed in Muddy Environments
(ASCE, 11/1/2023 )The presence of natural mud in the seabed of waterways and ports has an impact on maritime traffic in many parts of the world. Previous research has shown that sailing safely through fluid mud is possible. However, the ... -
Loads on Driven Monopile Foundations due to Pore Pressures
(ASCE, 7/1/2023 1)The preferred foundation type for offshore wind is still monopile foundations due to the relative ease of design, manufacturing, and installation. The wave loads (between seabed and wave crest) on present-day monopile ... -
Generation of Linear Waves with Bottom Wave Makers Using Analytical
(ASCE, 9/1/2023 1)In this study, rectangular and triangular bottom waver makers were developed to -
Optimal Significant Wave Height Monitoring Network Identification via Empirical Orthogonal Function Analysis with QR Column Pivoting Algorithm
(ASCE, 11/1/2023 )Significant wave height (SWH) is a fundamental concept in marine-related applications, activities, and renewable wave energy. The sea state is characterized by the SWH, and real-time ocean operations suffer from missing ... -
A Data-Driven Approach to Hurricane Debris Modeling
(ASCE, 9/1/2023 1)The large amount of debris generated in the aftermath of hurricane and storm events can cause severe financial and logistical burdens to coastal communities. Existing debris estimation models mainly focus on wind-induced ... -
Impacts of Ship-Induced Waves along Shorelines during Flooding Events
(ASCE, 11/1/2023 )Ship-generated waves are often amplified onshore in confined seaways and are associated with several incidents worldwide. Few tools enable modeling the ship waves’ evolution through complex bathymetry. Here, we assess the ... -
Probabilistic Tsunami Damage Assessment for Structural Mitigation Policy Guidance
(ASCE, 9/1/2023 1)Some areas of the California coast have physical conditions—such as local bathymetry, topography, shoreline orientation, and other factors—that increase the risk for damage from tsunami inundation compared with other ... -
Remaining Capacity of Low-Crested Rubble Mounds Damaged by Breaking Waves in Surf Zone
(ASCE, 2022/11/01)The rehabilitation timing of a damaged rubble mound structure depends on the remaining capacity of the deteriorated structure. A laboratory experiment was conducted in a wave flume to measure the remaining capacity of a ... -
Evaluation of Total Sediment Transport Model in the Simulation of Morphodynamics in Two Different Hydrodynamic Settings
(ASCE, 2022/11/01)The bed level change in rivers and estuaries due to several dynamic parameters such as tide, waves, river discharge, and wind is a common problem. The current practice is to predict the changes through numerical modeling ... -
Nearshore Vertical Pore Pressure Gradients and Onshore Sediment Transport under Tropical Storm Forcing
(ASCE, 2022/11/01)Colocated sediment pore pressures at depths of approximately 0.02 and 0.22 m below the sand surface and near-bed water velocities were measured for approximately 2 weeks in approximately 1 m mean water depth on an ocean ... -
Investigation of Momentum Correction Factor in the Swash Flow
(ASCE, 2022/11/01)Swash flows are commonly modeled using the nonlinear shallow water equations (NSWEs). In the derivation of the NSWEs, directly from depth-averaging the Navier–Stokes equations, a so-called momentum correction factor, β, ... -
Modeling of Coastal Erosion in Exposed and Groin-Protected Steep Beaches
(ASCE, 2022/11/01)Process-based models are suitable tools for reproducing storm-driven erosion. However, their performance has been mainly examined on mild-slope sandy beaches and their use on steep beaches still represents a challenge. ... -
