Experimental Study to Determine Forces Acting on Starbloc Armor Units and Velocities Occurring in a Single-Layer Rubble Mound Breakwater under Regular Waves
(ASCE, 2022-7-1)A series of two-dimensional (2D) model tests were performed to investigate loads acting on a new artificial block (Starbloc) within a breakwater during regular waves. This block is designed as an interlocking single-layer ... -
Trends in the Climatology of Winter Wind Wave Heights in a Back-Barrier Bay in Western North Atlantic Ocean
(ASCE, 2022-5-1)Wave climate studies mainly focus on the wave climatology in the open ocean. There is currently a limited understanding of trends and changes in the wave climatology of coastal waters. This study quantifies climate-induced ... -
Vessel-Generated Wake Attenuation by <i>Rhizophora Mangle</i> in Key West, Florida
(ASCE, 2022-5-1)Mangroves have demonstrated the potential to provide engineering services to shorelines through wave attenuation, inland load reduction, and erosion mitigation. However, to confidently leverage these and other natural and ... -
Flexural Gravity Wave Resonance in the Presence of Current
(ASCE, 2022-5-1)In the present work, different types of resonance associated with the flexural gravity wave motion in the presence of current are discussed. Trapping is one important class of resonance and is studied in the presence of ... -
Study on Horizontal Bearing Characteristics of Pile-Wheel Hybrid Foundations of Offshore Wind Turbines
(ASCE, 2022-5-1)In order to study the influence of friction wheel parameters and loading eccentricities on the horizontal bearing characteristics of pile-wheel hybrid foundations, the numerical calculation models of pile-wheel hybrid ... -
Diffraction of Solitary Waves by a Concentric Porous Dual-Arc Thin Wall
(ASCE, 2022-3-1)Herein, a semianalytical model is presented for solitary wave diffraction by a surface-piercing concentric dual-arc thin wall. The two arc-shaped walls are porous and thin, and they are placed on a flat seafloor. As a key ... -
Downdrift Port Siltation Adjacent to a River Mouth: Mechanisms and Effects of Littoral Sediment Transport to the Navigation Channel
(ASCE, 2022-3-1)The mechanisms controlling sediment transport at river mouths and estuaries nearby ports are complicated interactions among waves, tidal currents, and river flows over complex bathymetry. Episodic river discharge triggered ... -
Scour Development and Possible Effects of Momentary Liquefaction in Inundated Coastal Areas During Hurricane Michael
(ASCE, 2022-3-1)Scour holes around slender piles were measured in areas inundated during Hurricane Michael and were compared with scour hole depths estimated from existing scour prediction equations. Despite testing a wide range of feasible ... -
Navigation Channel Effects on Estuarine Mean Water Level
(ASCE, 2022-3-1)The traditional conceptual model of freshwater-dominated estuarine hydrodynamics states that long-term average within-estuary water level is elevated over long-term average sea level at the sea inlet(s) in order to push ... -
Experimental and Numerical Study of Waves Breaking Over a Submerged Three-Dimensional Bar
(ASCE, 2022-3-1)Depth-induced breaking is the major wave transformation process in coastal waters that significantly influences the wave energy that eventually reaches the coastline. Most studies of depth-induced wave breaking focus on ... -
Bore Impact on Decks of Coastal Structures
(ASCE, 2022-3-1)Bore impact on horizontal fixed decks of coastal structures is studied by use of the Level I Green–Naghdi (GN) equations and the Navier–Stokes (NS) equations. The bore is generated by the breaking of a water reservoir, and ... -
Maritime Transport Efficiency to Inform Demand-Driven User Fees for Harbor Infrastructure
(ASCE, 2022-1-1)A dredging backlog in American harbors has produced inefficiencies, delays, and lost revenues for waterway-based logistics and trade. Policymakers have called for increased spending to address maintenance concerns that ... -
Numerical Simulations of Tsunami Wave Generation by Submarine Landslides: Validation and Sensitivity Analysis to Landslide Parameters
(ASCE, 2022-3-1)Submarine landslide-generated waves have been responsible for significant damage to coastal communities worldwide. Despite this, the existing knowledge on the mechanism of the phenomenon is limited that can be partly ... -
Vorticity–Stream Function Formulation for Turbulent Oscillatory Boundary Layer over the Sea Bottom
(ASCE, 2022-1-1)The oscillatory flow within the oscillatory boundary layer at the bottom of propagating surface waves is determined by numerically solving the vorticity–stream function problem when the flow regime is turbulent. Two ... -
Effect of the Current-Wave Angle on the Local Scour Around Circular Piles
(ASCE, 2022-1-1)This paper studies the effect of the wave front-current angle on the scour around a circular pile. An experimental study was carried out in the Coastal, Ocean and Sediment Transport (COAST) laboratory at the University of ... -
Innovative Booster for Dynamic Installation of OMNI-Max Anchor in Clay: Numerical Modeling
(ASCE, 2022-1-1)An innovative booster is proposed with the aim of increasing the final penetration depth of the OMNI-Max anchor in the clayey seabed with high strength gradient. The booster is attached to the tail of the OMNI-Max anchor, ... -
Variations in Building-Resolving Simulations of Tsunami Inundation in a Coastal Urban Area
(ASCE, 2022-1-1)The direct simulation of inundation in developed urban areas presents a much greater challenge than the more common bare earth simulations that use roughness, which are used in many tsunami studies. This study intercompares ... -
