Berm Effects on the Probability Distribution of Individual Wave Overtopping Discharge over a Low-Crested Sea Dike
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Existing studies on the distribution of individual wave overtopping over sea dikes have not taken the effects of the berm into consideration. In this study, a series of physical experiments have been conducted on smooth ... -
Overtide Generation in Small Inlet-Bay Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The generation of shallow water tides (overtides) may influence shoaling processes in shallow embayments and harbors. A simplified, conceptual model is developed to simulate the generation of overtides and tidal asymmetries ... -
Effect of Sea Level Rise on the Wave Overtopping Rate at Berm Breakwater
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)This study quantitatively assessed the risk in the overtopping performance of berm breakwaters due to sea level rise (SLR). To achieve this, a recent overtopping prediction formula that includes the influence of water depth ... -
Streamline Upwind Petrov-Galerkin–Based Shallow Water Model for Large-Scale Geophysical Flows in Cartesian and Spherical Coordinates
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The development and implementation of a stabilized finite-element model for the simulation of large-scale geophysical flows using the shallow water equations (SWEs) is presented. The model is derived from the mass and ... -
Wave-Height Dissipation and Undertow of Spilling Breakers over Beaches of Varying Slopes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Spilling breaking over beach profiles of varying slopes was studied numerically using an immersed-boundary/level-set method where both the bed profile and the free surface were immersed in a Cartesian grid. The combined ... -
Longshore Sediment Transport Rate Estimation near Harbor under Low and High Wave-Energy Conditions: Fluorescent Tracers Experiment
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The main objective of this research was to contribute to the comprehension of actual physical processes responsible for sand accumulations at the Cap Djinet harbor entrance and its immediate surroundings. This maritime ... -
3D Numerical Modeling of Exchange Flows in Golden Horn Estuary
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The Golden Horn estuary (GH) is a historic inlet in the northwest direction of the Bosphorus. It is a unique region that has valuable biological resources and provides living space for a wide variety of organisms. The GH ... -
Traffic Simulation of Houston Ship Channel for Assessing the Impact of Waterway Closures on Vessel Waiting Time
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)In this study, a model was developed to simulate waterway operations in the Houston Ship Channel to estimate vessel waiting time during waterway closures and to determine the optimal closure scenarios. The model allows the ... -
Spatial Impulse Wave Generation and Propagation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Rapid landslides into water bodies may generate massive water waves posing a threat to riparian settlements and infrastructure. These waves are referred to as impulse waves and exhibit tsunami-like characteristics. The ... -
Experimental Evaluation of Wave Transmission and Dynamics of Double-Row Floating Breakwaters
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Floating breakwaters are recognized as effective wave-attenuation structures for protecting shorelines and marine facilities. However, most common single-row floating breakwaters are unable to effectively attenuate the ... -
Using Analytical Approach to Estimate Wave Transmission Coefficient in Floating Structures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)This paper presents a simplified analytical approach, based on power transmission theory, to estimate the transmission coefficient of a floating box structure with finite width. In evaluating the transmitted wave power, ... -
Influence of Grain Size on Sediment Transport during Initial Stages of Horizontal Dam Break–Type Flows
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The influence of grain size on sediment transport during the initial stages of dam break–type flows over horizontal mobile sediment beds was investigated through dimensional analysis and experiments. A new dimensional ... -
