Using an Oscillating Water Column Structure to Reduce Wave Reflection from a Vertical Wall
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Wave absorbers are usually needed for reducing wave reflection from vertical walls. Different from traditional wave absorbers, which dissipate wave energy into unusable forms, an oscillating water column (OWC) structure ... -
New Internal-Wave Model in a Two-Layer Fluid
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)To model internal waves, high-level Green-Naghdi (GN) equations that are strongly nonlinear were developed for a two-layer fluid with a rigid lid over the upper layer. The GN models were applied to two internal-solitary-wave ... -
Turbulence Statistics of Wave-Current Flow over a Submerged Cube
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)This paper describes an experimental study carried out in a laboratory flume to investigate the interaction of a surface wave with a unidirectional current over a submerged cubic obstacle. The three-dimensional velocity ... -
Explicit Wave-Overtopping Formula for Mound Breakwaters with Crown Walls Using CLASH Neural Network–Derived Data
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Based on the Crest Level Assessment of Coastal Structures (CLASH) Neural Network Overtopping prediction method, a new 16-parameter overtopping estimator ( -
Efficiency of Hanging Silt Curtains in Crossflow
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)When dredging in sensitive environments, efforts have to be made to limit the free dispersal of suspended fine sediment from the dredging spill. The use of hanging silt curtains as an environmental mitigation measure is ... -
Longshore Transport Estimation on Ofir Beach in Northwest Portugal: Sand-Tracer Experiment
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)This work aims to shed some light on longshore sediment transport (LST) in the highly energetic northwest coast of Portugal. Data achieved through a sand-tracer experiment are compared with data obtained from the original ... -
Data-Driven and Theoretical Beach Equilibrium Profiles: Implications and Consequences
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)This paper presents a concept of data-driven beach equilibrium profiles of cross-shore seabed records from the coastal station of Instytut Budownictwa Wodnego Polskiej Akademii Nauk at Lubiatowo, Poland, where multiple ... -
Effect of Asymmetric Directional Spreading on the Total Radiation Stress
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)The process of wave refraction in nearshore zones can result in an asymmetric directional distribution of spectral energy when oblique, multi-directional wave fields propagate into shallow water areas. Here the effect of ... -
Influence of Wind Force on a Silt-Muddy Coast: Huanghua Harbor Coast, China
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Huanghua Harbor, a semiclosed harbor with three 13.32–23.4 km-long breakwaters forming a coal port and a general port, is located on the silt-muddy coast of the Bohai Sea in China. Frequent gales cause thick sedimentation ... -
Flow and Turbulence at Rubble-Mound Breakwater Armor Layers under Solitary Wave
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation of the flow and turbulence at the armor layer of rubble-mound breakwaters during wave action. The study focused on the details of the flow and turbulence in ... -
Pile Fence to Reduce Wave Overtopping and Overwash of Dune
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)An experiment was performed to examine the utility of a pile fence in reducing dune erosion and overwash during a storm. Six tests consisting of 58 runs of 400 s each were conducted to compare the effectiveness of six ... -
Effect of Embedment on the Plastic Behavior of Bucket Foundations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)A series of comprehensive research and development projects has validated the novel concept of the bucket foundation as an alternative to piled foundations, and bucket foundations are rapidly becoming a viable option for ... -
Wave Transformation and Sand Transport on a Macrotidal Pocket Beach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Available 17-day field data in Korea are analyzed to investigate the cross-shore wave transformation, currents and sand suspension in the intertidal zone, and beach profile changes of a macrotidal pocket beach with a gentle ... -
Fluid Motions Associated with Engineered Area Bubble Plumes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Current bubble oil booms (BOBs) create bubble curtains to protect fixed installations in calm waters such as harbors, but fail in more energetic environments. Field and lab studies reveal that area bubble plumes enable BOB ... -
On Higher-Order Boussinesq-Type Wave Models
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Three enhanced versions of two existing nonlinear Boussinesq-type models are herein derived. These models, along with two other similar solvers, were investigated with respect to their nonlinear and dispersive characteristics. ... -
Modeling Wind Effects on Shallow Water Waves
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)A mechanism for the growth of waves by wind is included in a time-domain Boussinesq-type model. To facilitate direct analysis of the effect of wind on nonlinear wave–wave interactions over a flat bottom, a set of three ... -

Wave Propagation into Complex Coastal Systems and the Role of Nonlinear Interactions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)The phase-averaged wave model Simulating WAves Nearshore (SWAN) is often used for the design of dikes and harbors. However, various hindcast studies have shown that SWAN underpredicts the wave energy when waves are penetrating ... -
