Storm Surge and Surface Waves in a Shallow Lagoonal Estuary during the Crossing of a Hurricane
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Tropical cyclones deliver intense winds that can generate some of the most severe surface wave and storm surge conditions in the coastal ocean. Hurricane Irene (2011) crossed a large, shallow lagoonal estuarine system in ... -
Turbulent Separation Around Cylinders in Waves
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)The development of the turbulent boundary layer around a circular cylinder in oscillatory flow is investigated by the depth integrated equation of momentum. The shape of the velocity profile is assumed to be log‐linear. ... -
Computational Methods Applied to Some Diverse Topics in Marine Engineering

Prediction of Storm/Normal Beach Profiles
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)Using the results of large‐scale wave tank tests of monochromatic waves breaking on sandy beaches, Larson and Kraus have shown that storm (barred) and normal (nonbarred) equilibrium beach profiles can be segregated in terms ... -
Motion Response and Wave Attenuation of Linked Floating Breakwaters
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)A mathematical model has been developed for the motion response and wave attenuation of two linked floating breakwaters moored to the ocean floor. The two‐body interaction problem is divided into a hydrodynamic problem and ... -
Parameterized Solution to Nonlinear Wave Problem
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)A parameterized solution to the monochromatic irrotational nonlinear wave over a horizontal bottom is developed. The solution is expressed in terms of a converging truncated Fourier series. The coefficients, wave number ... -
Combined Oscillatory and Steady Flow over Ripples
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)Laser‐Doppler‐anemometer measurements of the fluid velocities in combined oscillatory and steady flow over rippled beds are reported. The direction of the steady current was parallel to the ripple crests and at right angles ... -
SPAC to Improve Port Performance for Seaports with Very Long One-Way Entrance Channels
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Very long one-way traffic (VLOWT) entrance channels have become bottlenecks for China’s seaports. However, the high costs and complexity of channel expansion make it impractical to expand a typical channel to a two-way ... -
Bottom Profile Evolution of a Perched Nourished Beach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)The evolution of a toe-protected nourished beach, located at Belvedere Marittimo (Italy), was investigated by means of both a physical model and a numerical morphological approach. Several surveys, including bottom profiles, ... -
Discussion of “Influence of Spectral Width on Wave Height Parameter Estimates in Coastal Environments” by Justin P. Vandever, Eric M. Siegel, John M. Brubaker, and Carl T. Friedrichs

Experimental Investigation of Wave Attenuation through Model and Live Vegetation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Wetland vegetation can attenuate storm surge and waves and thus play an important role in coastal protection. In this study, laboratory experiments were used to quantify wave attenuation as a function of vegetation type, ... -
Influence of Clay Content on Wave-Induced Liquefaction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)This paper presents the results of an experimental study of the influence of clay content (CC) on liquefaction of seabed beneath progressive waves. Experiments were, for the most part, conducted with silt and silt-clay ... -
SPH-DEM Modeling of the Hydraulic Stability of 2D Blocks on a Slope
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)The numerical simulations of wave interactions with armor blocks on rubble-mound breakwaters will enable a stronger understanding of breakwater failure and therefore increased malfunction prevention. This paper presents a ... -
Placement Test, Porosity, and Randomness of Cube and Cubipod Armor Layers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Although little attention is usually given to the armor porosity and armor randomness of randomly placed concrete armor units in mound breakwaters, significant model effects may occur if armor porosity and randomness are ... -
Modeling the Vulnerability of Waterway Networks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)In some areas, rivers and canals interweave into a network, making inland waterway transportation feasible. Significant losses will occur if a vulnerable waterway (where vulnerability is defined in terms of susceptibility ... -
Solitary Waves Incident on a Submerged Horizontal Plate
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Wave scattering of a solitary wave traveling over a submerged horizontal plate was studied. Experiments for normal incidence were conducted in a wave flume, with a horizontal plate suspended at two different depths in the ... -
Loss Functions for Small Marine Vessels Based on Survey Data and Numerical Simulation of the 2011 Great East Japan Tsunami
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Data for approximately 20,000 small marine vessels damaged by the 2011 Great East Japan tsunami, including information on motor types and tonnage, were collected and used to develop loss functions. The observed maximum ... -
Seabed Effects on the Hydrodynamics of a Circular Cylinder Undergoing Vortex-Induced Vibration at High Reynolds Number
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)The hydrodynamic character of a wall-free and near-wall circular cylinder oscillating in the transverse direction in a steady current was experimentally investigated at a Reynolds number of -
