Equilibrium Scour-Depth Prediction around Cylindrical Structures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Offshore gravity base foundations (GBFs) are often designed with complex geometries. Such structures interact with local hydrodynamics, creating an adverse pressure gradient that is responsible for flow and scour phenomena, ... -
Temporal and Spatial Evolution of Potential Energy, Kinetic Energy, and Momentum Flux in Tsunami Waves during Breaking and Inundation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017) -
Bay Flooding through Tidal Inlet and by Wave Overtopping of Barrier Beach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)A simple analytical model for a small bay with a tidal inlet channel was developed to predict the peak still-water elevation in the bay for the specific peak still-water elevation and surge duration in the ocean. The model ... -
Hydrodynamic Characteristics of Vertical Cellular Breakwater
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Permeable and slender coastal protection systems are gaining ground in the field because they are relatively economical and easy to construct compared to traditional-type breakwaters. In this study, a breakwater consisting ... -
Pressures and Forces on an Oscillating Water Column–Type Wave Energy Caisson Breakwater

Linear Wave Interaction with a Vertical Cylinder of Arbitrary Cross Section: An Asymptotic Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)An asymptotic approach to the linear problem of regular water waves interacting with a vertical cylinder of an arbitrary cross section is presented. The incident regular wave was one-dimensional, water was of finite depth, ... -
Coastal-Storm Model Development and Water-Level Validation for the North Atlantic Coast Comprehensive Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)The focus of this paper is on the storm surge modeling effort conducted as part of the North Atlantic Coast Comprehensive Study (NACCS). At the time of this study, the numerical modeling component of the NACCS was the ... -
Hurricane Damage Classification Methodology and Fragility Functions Derived from Hurricane Sandy’s Effects in Coastal New Jersey
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Regional-scale and local damage surveys of the U.S. Mid-Atlantic coast were performed after Hurricane Sandy in 2012. A satellite-based analysis of over 15,000 houses within one block of the New Jersey, Long Island, and ... -
Settling Mechanism for Ternary-Type Geocontainers Dumped from a Bevel
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Geocontainers have been increasingly used in various estuarine and coastal engineering projects. However, it is difficult to determine the horizontal settling distances of geocontainers when they are dumped into deep water. ... -
Simulating Regular Wave Effects on a Pile-Moored Floating Breakwater Using a Modified WCSPH Method

Application of the Nearshore Wave Model STWAVE to the North Atlantic Coast Comprehensive Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) recently completed a detailed study to address the coastal storm and flood risk to vulnerable population, property, ecosystems, and infrastructure affected by Hurricane Sandy. One ... -
Barrier Island Morphological Change by Bay-Side Storm Surge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Barrier island overwash and breaching are caused by inundation from ocean storm surge and waves or from elevated levels of bay water. According to numerical simulations, a developed barrier island in New Jersey experienced ... -
Scour Development around Large-Diameter Monopiles in Cohesive Soils: Evidence from the Field
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017) -
Attenuation of Nonlinear Waves by Rigid Vegetation: Comparison of Different Wave Theories
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)This study investigates the performances of theoretical wave attenuation models in predicting vegetation-induced wave decay. The existing theoretical models are all based on linear wave theory, which cannot describe nonlinear ... -
Rock Seawall in the Swash Zone to Reduce Wave Overtopping and Overwash of a Sand Beach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Low rock structures have been constructed on some beaches to reduce storm-induced damage to backshore areas, but no method is available to design such structures. Four test series were conducted in a wave flume with a sand ... -
Performance of Three-Dimensional Modeling for Flow Structures in Channel Bends
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Natural channels are seldom straight and commonly take sinuous patterns with turbulent and strongly three-dimensional (3D) flows in the bends. A 3D hydrodynamic model [Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS)] with major 3D ... -
Simulation of Wave-Plus-Current Scour beneath Submarine Pipelines
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)A fully coupled hydrodynamic and morphologic numerical model was utilized for the simulation of wave-plus-current scour beneath submarine pipelines. The model was based on incompressible Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes ... -
Simulation of Nearshore Tsunami Breaking by Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics Method

Upstream-Cylinder and Downstream-Cylinder Influence on the Hydrodynamics of a Four-Cylinder Group
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The wave interaction at low Keulegan-Carpenter numbers with a group of four large cylinders arranged in the form of a square with one diagonal along the direction of wave propagation is studied with a focus on the hydrodynamic ... -
Coastal Wave-Height Statistics during Hurricane Ike
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The statistical behavior of wave heights obtained from short-term (i.e., 30-min) wave records during Hurricane Ike was investigated. Spectral data from seven temporary pressure gauges and one National Data Buoy Center ...
