Wave Resonance and Dissipation in Collections of Partially Reflecting Vertical Cylinders
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Plane waves scattered by a coastal feature exhibit resonance with partially standing waves forming on the windward side and wave dissipation on the leeward side. In this research, the complicated interactions of waves ... -
Delaying Effect of Extracellular Polymer Substances on Fluid Mud Consolidation and Application for Nautical Depth
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Microorganisms have been used to delay fluid mud consolidation and to keep fluid mud navigable. However, bacteria and extracellular polymer substances (EPSs) that delay sediment consolidation have not been studied widely, ... -
Fragility Analysis of Pile-Supported Wharves and Piers Exposed to Storm Surge and Waves
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Ports are located in areas often susceptible to storm surge and flooding from severe storms as well as the potential impacts of climate change, such as sea level rise. Although there is a significant body of work addressing ... -
Experimental Investigation of the Hydro-Morphodynamic Performances of a Geocontainer Submerged Reef
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This work reports on an experimental investigation focused on the hydro-morphodynamic response of a submerged reef made of geotextile sand containers (GSCs). Reflection and transmission across the barrier were evaluated ... -
Wave Shoaling over a Submerged Ramp: An Experimental and Numerical Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Shoaling in intermediate and shallow waters is a major process that occurs as the water wave travels toward the shore from deep waters. Evaluation of the appropriate shoaling coefficient (Ks) is essential in understanding ... -
Hamiltonian Boussinesq Simulations for Waves Entering a Harbor with Access Channel
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Numerical simulations are often used to predict the deformation of waves and their impact on structures in harbors and access channels. An underprediction of these waves could lead to structural failure or ship accidents, ... -
Sloshing Effects under Longitudinal Excitation in Horizontal Elliptical Cylindrical Containers with Complex Baffles
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Assuming that an ideal liquid has irrotational, incompressible, and inviscid flows, a mathematical model is presented to efficiently and simply study liquid sloshing problems under longitudinal excitation in horizontal ... -
Influence of Dam-Controlled River Discharge and Tides on Salinity Intrusion in the Godavari Estuary, East Coast of India
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The Godavari is an important tropical monsoonal river located along the east coast of India. The Gautami-Godavari is one of the two major estuarine branches of the Godavari River bifurcated by a low dam at Dowlaiswaram. ... -
Analysis Method of Terminal Throughput Capacity for Coal Export Terminals
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Considering the limitations of previous calculation methods for the throughput capacity of coal export terminals, this paper proposes a new analysis method for terminal throughput capacity on the basis of a computer ... -
Convergence of Multilayer Nonhydrostatic Models in Relation to Boussinesq-Type Equations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Multilayer nonhydrostatic models have gained popularity in the computation of ocean wave processes, but a recent attempt to make a connection to the Boussinesq-type approach raises some fundamental issues that require a ... -
Simulating Breaking Focused Waves in CFD: Methodology for Controlled Generation of First and Second Order
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)A new methodology is proposed for the generation of breaking focused waves in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. The application of the methodology is illustrated for a numerical flume with a piston-type ... -
Dynamic Loading on Flexible Floating Anticollision System due to Head-On Collision by Uncontrolled Vessel
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The design of flexible floating anticollision systems (FFAS) against collision by uncontrolled vessels is based on quasi-static considerations, in which the maximum loading is taken to occur when the vessel is brought to ... -
Using Empirical Data to Quantify Port Resilience: Hurricane Matthew and the Southeastern Seaboard
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The economic significance of the U.S. Marine Transportation System (MTS) generates a need to understand the resilience of the MTS. Resilience is defined herein as a system’s ability maintain a given critical function through ... -
WEC Design Based on Refined Mean Annual Energy Production for the Israeli Mediterranean Coast
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Using the Israeli Mediterranean as an example, we address the impact of resource variability and device survivability on the design of floating-body wave-energy converters (WECs). Employing a simplified heaving cylinder ... -
