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 ... -
Fortescue Inlet: Offshore Deposition Basins for Navigation Channel Management in Small Craft Inlets
(ASCE, 2022-3-1)A comprehensive case study of the coastal processes for Fortescue Inlet (New Jersey, USA) is presented with the objective of minimizing maintenance dredging of the navigational channel. This study compares the effectiveness ... -
Analysis of Holding Force Limit and Provision against Dragging Anchor
(ASCE, 2022-1-1)Analyses of the equilibrium conditions of an anchor and a cable of a ship at anchoring are presented. Three conditions are considered: (1) a part of the cable lies on the seafloor; (2) no part of the cable lies on the ... -
Effects of Model Resolution and Coverage on Storm-Driven Coastal Flooding Predictions
(ASCE, 2022-1-1)Predictions of storm surge and flooding require models with higher resolution of coastal regions, to describe fine-scale bathymetric and topographic variations, natural and artificial channels, flow features, and barriers. ... -
Scour Mechanics of a Tsunami-Like Bore around a Square Structure
(ASCE, 2022-1-1)This study presents a detailed analysis of the mechanics of scour around a square structure due to an inland-propagating tsunami-like bore using physical modeling. A series of hydraulic bores was simulated using the dam-break ... -
Nonhydrostatic Numerical Modeling of Fixed and Mobile Barred Beaches: Limitations of Depth-Averaged Wave Resolving Models around Sandbars
(ASCE, 2022-1-1)Along sandy coastlines, submerged, shore-parallel sandbars play an essential role in shoreline morphology by dissipating wave energy through depth-induced wave breaking. While wave breaking and sediment transport around ... -
Southwest Pass Sedimentation and Dredging Data Analysis
(ASCE, 2022-3-1)The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) maintains the Mississippi River, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to the Gulf of Mexico Project as part of its Navigation mission to enable safe, reliable, and cost-effective marine ... -
Experimental Assessment of Hydrodynamic Coefficients for a Heave Plate Executing Pitch Oscillations
