Probabilistic Optimal Design of Rubble-Mound Breakwater
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)The present paper focuses on a methodology for the optimal design of a rubble-mound breakwater using a probabilistic analysis. In this (optimization) problem formulation, the total construction cost is minimized, subject ... -
Particle-Trajectory Calculations under a Solitary Wave by High-Level IGN Equations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Particle trajectories under a solitary wave are studied using the high-level Irrotational Green-Naghdi (IGN) equations. The steady IGN equations are solved using the Newton-Raphson method. It is determined that the IGN-2 ... -
Influence of Cross Section on Wave Scour around Piles
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)The study extends the investigation of scour around circular vertical piles in waves, reported in 1992 in two works by Sumer et al. In the present paper, the influence of cross‐sectional shape of piles on scour is studied. ... -
Fluid Mud Properties in Nautical Depth Estimation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Fluid mud is a non-Newtonian slurry of aggregated fine sediment present in numerous bays, estuaries, and lakes. It is a transitory state of mobile mud whose properties are relevant to the definitions and utility of ... -
Effects of Mixing on Hopper Sedimentation in Clearing Mixtures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Hopper sedimentation is the result of precipitation of typically fine sediment from a homogenous, high-concentration mixture, which is not completely deficient of turbulence. If hopper sedimentation or loading is accomplished ... -
Trunk and Head Damage on a Low-Crested Breakwater
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)The spatial variation of damage on different sections of the trunk and head of a low-crested stone structure on a fixed bottom is examined using a cross-shore numerical model extended to oblique waves. The computed wave ... -
Hydraulic Experiments on Impact Forces from Tsunami-Driven Debris
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Impact on a column by an idealized 1:5-scale shipping container propelled by tsunami flow was modeled in a large-scale wave flume. Results from hydraulic experiments were compared with corresponding data from in-air impact ... -
Improved Advancing Front Mesh Algorithm with Pseudoislands as Internal Fronts
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)This paper presents an alternative implementation of the advancing front method for generating two-dimensional triangular unstructured meshes for finite-element applications. After initializing the front along the boundaries, ... -
Numerical Simulation of Solitary-Wave Propagation over a Steady Current
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)A two-dimensional numerical model is developed to study the propagation of a solitary wave in the presence of a steady current flow. The numerical model is based on the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations with a -
Flow and Edge Scour in Current Adjacent to Stone Covers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation on edge scour adjacent to a stone cover laid on a sandy bed. The three-dimensional flow over the edge of the stone layer has been investigated by the use of ... -
Erosion of a Seaward Dike Slope by Wave Action
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)A dike erosion model is developed to predict the temporal and cross-shore variations of vertical erosion depth under irregular wave action. The product of the erosion rate and the turf resistance force is related to the ... -
Optimal Collocation of Three Kinds of Bragg Breakwaters for Bragg Resonant Reflection by Long Waves
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)It is well known that, for a series of submerged artificial bars uniformly distributed in the coastal region parallel to the coastline, if the wavelength of the incident wave train is twice that of the bar distance, Bragg ... -
Flow‐Induced Vibrations of Marine Risers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)Experimental work is carried out to investigate the behavior of an elastically mounted circular cylinder having vibrations restricted to a plane normal to the incident flow, as influenced by the vicinity to a similar but ... -
