Role of Hurricane Wind Models in Accurate Simulation of Storm Surge and Waves
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Storm-surge and wave models are routinely used to assess the impact of hurricanes/cyclones for emergency preparedness. Although these models are forced by wind fields, generated by meteorological models in hindcast or ... -
Near Trapped Modes in Long Array of Truncated Circular Cylinders
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The purpose of this article is to investigate near trapped-mode occurrences by arrays of truncated cylinders. The basic question that this article tries to answer is whether near trapped modes (peak loading wave numbers) ... -
Two-Dimensional Vessel–Current Interaction Model for Inland Waterways Assessment
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)This study presents a computational tool for the analysis of commercial navigation capacity of rivers by a fast-time two-dimensional vessel–current interaction model. Different scenarios of rivers and vessels can be ... -
Assessment of Monopile-Gravel Wheel Foundations under Lateral-Moment Loading for Offshore Wind Turbines
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)This paper evaluates the lateral performance of a monopile reinforced by a gravel wheel for offshore structures via centrifuge tests and three-dimensional finite-element (FE) modelings. The gravel wheel comprises a ring ... -
Postquarter-Point Case of Ship’s Side-Berthing and Its Influence on Marine Fender Pitch
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)This paper presents a critical analysis of some selected codes and practical recommendations used as basic rules in the design procedures of modern marine fender systems. The first part of the discussion pertains to the ... -
Experimental Investigation on the Wave Elevation around a Semisubmersible in Monochromatic and Irregular Waves
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)In the present work, the wave elevation around a floating semisubmersible was experimentally studied in monochromatic and irregular waves. The effect of the direction of incident waves was considered by introducing five ... -
Physical and Numerical Modeling of Dynamic Penetration of Ship Anchor in Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The drop/drag process of ship anchors poses a severe threat to the underwater facilities lying on or embedded within the seabed/riverbed. To investigate the penetration depth of ship anchors within clayey seabed under ... -
Semianalytical Model of Depth-Integrated Vegetal Drag Force Based on Stokes Second-Order Wave Theory
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The phase-averaged depth-integrated vegetal drag force (Fv) directly impacts the mean water level (MWL) change in vegetation. Evaluated from linear wave theory, Fv integrated along the submerged part of vegetation becomes ... -
Estimation of Clear-Water Local Scour at Pile Groups Using Genetic Expression Programming and Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The physical process of scour around pile groups is complex. Due to economical and geotechnical considerations, multiple pile bridge piers have become more common in bridge designs. Various empirical models have been ... -
Computational Model for Wave Attenuation by Flexible Vegetation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Coastal vegetation has a well-known effect of attenuating waves; however, quantifiable measures of attenuation for general wave and vegetation scenarios are not well known, so field and laboratory studies must be performed ... -
Erratum for “Hamiltonian Boussinesq Simulations for Waves Entering a Harbor with Access Channel” by R. Kurnia, M. R. Badriana, and E. van Groesen

Scour Beneath and Adjacent to Submarine Pipelines with Spoilers on a Cohesive Seabed: Case Study of Hangzhou Bay, China
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)This study focused on scour beneath and adjacent to submarine pipelines with spoilers on a cohesive seabed. Field data about the seabed bathymetry and seabed subbottom imagery along the pipeline length direction in the ... -
Settling and Consolidation of Soft Mud–Sand Layers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)This paper discusses the settling and consolidation of soft mixtures of mud and sand based on experiments in a set of laboratory settling columns of varying lengths in the range of 0.5–3 m. Two types of natural muds with ... -
Relationship between Waterway Depth and Low-Flow Water Levels in Reaches below the Three Gorges Dam
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)This study analyzes low-flow water levels and expansion of waterway depths in the Yangtze River. It focuses on waterways in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, known as the Golden Waterway, which are key ... -
Field Measurements of Inhomogeneous Wave Conditions in Bjørnafjorden
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Due to the complex topography in a fjord, wave conditions differ from those of ocean waves. In this study, characteristics of wave conditions in the Bjørnafjorden in Hordaland County, Norway were thoroughly investigated ... -
SPH Modeling of Wave Transformation over a Coral Reef with Seawall
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Wave transformations over a coral reef with a steep front slope were comparatively studied using both laboratory tests and smoothed particle hydrodynamic (SPH) modeling. In the numerical model, nonreflective generation and ... -
Development of Return Period Stillwater Floodplains for the Northern Gulf of Mexico under the Coastal Dynamics of Sea Level Rise
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Rising seas increase the exposure, vulnerability, and thus the risk associated with hurricane storm surge flooding across the coastal floodplain. A methodology is applied to down select a suite of synthetic storms from ... -
Marine Vessel Wave Wake: Transient Effects When Accelerating or Decelerating
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)It is well known that the waves generated by marine vessels, often referred to as wave wake or wash, can cause many issues when operating in sheltered waterways, including, but not limited to, erosion of shorelines and ... -
