Modal Parameter Estimation for Jacket-Type Platforms Using Free-Vibration Data
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2011)An accurate estimation of the modal parameters of a structure, including modal frequency and damping ratio, is crucial for many practical engineering problems. This article introduces Prony’s method for identifying multiple ... -
Sediment Resuspension by Vessel-Generated Waves along the Savannah River, Georgia
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2011)Vessel-generated waves have the potential to erode the shoreline where there is regular commercial and recreational boat traffic in otherwise low-energy estuarine and fetch-limited environments. Whereas it is well established ... -
Long-Term Evolution of Columbia River Tides
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2011)A 170 km tidal channel connects the lower Columbia River ports of Portland and Vancouver to the Pacific Ocean. An increasing incidence of low water levels during summer and fall sometimes limits the draft of ships using ... -
Experimental Investigation of Cylindrical Floating Breakwater Performance with Various Mooring Configurations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2011)Floating breakwaters are typically used to protect small marinas or for shoreline erosion control on limited-fetch water bodies in which wavelengths are relatively short, such as lakes, reservoirs, and bays. In spite of ... -
Nonhydrostatic Model for Surf Zone Simulation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2011)A previously developed model for nonhydrostatic free surface flow is adapted to simulate breaking waves in the surf zone. The model solves the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations in a fraction step manner with the ... -
Discussion of “Simulated Wave-Induced Erosion of the Mississippi River–Gulf Outlet Levees during Hurricane Katrina” by Rune Storesund, Robert G. Bea, and Yuli Huang

Observations of Landfalling Wave Spectra during Hurricane Ike
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2011)Observations of wave properties during Hurricane Ike are presented for eight temporary gauges in mean depths of 8.7–15.8 m over a 360-km section of coastline. These gauges cover both the strong (left) and weak (right) sides ... -
Model for Mixture Theory Simulation of Vortex Sand Ripple Dynamics
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2011)The complex coupled interactions between fluid and sandy sediment on the seafloor are simulated with a three-dimensional bottom boundary layer model (SedMix3D) developed from mixture theory. SedMix3D solves the unfiltered ... -
Evolution of Gravel Beach Profiles
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2011)An experiment was conducted in a wave flume to examine the processes of gravel beach profile evolution under irregular waves. Two erosion tests were performed on a steep slope of -
Swash Zone Dynamics due to Impulsive Waves
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2011)On the basis of the recently proposed boundary value problem for the nonlinear shallow water equations and the extension of its available solutions for swash zone flows, we propose regression curves for the prediction of ... -
Wave- and Wind-Induced Dynamic Response of a Spar-Type Offshore Wind Turbine
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)This paper addresses coupled wave and wind-induced motions of spar-type 5-MW wind turbines in harsh and operational environmental conditions. Global dynamic motion responses have been analyzed by aero-hydro-servo-elastic ... -
Modeling Floating Object Entry and Exit Using Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2011)This paper investigates fluid and floating object interaction using a novel adaptation of the weakly compressible smoothed particle hydrodynamics (WCSPH) method by incorporating a floating object model. In particular, this ... -
Coupled PIV and PTV Measurements of Particle Velocities and Trajectories for Surface Waves Following a Steady Current
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2011)This paper describes kinetic aspects of surface waves propagating with or without a current in a constant water depth. Physical properties of the velocity and trajectory of a water particle during one wave cycle were ... -
Depth Inversion in the Surf Zone with Inclusion of Wave Nonlinearity Using Video-Derived Celerity
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2011)A process is described for computation of bathymetry in and near the surf zone, from spatially varying celerity and breakpoint location data. The procedure involves the use of three submodels: (1) a wave shoaling model ... -

Flow Dynamics and Bed Resistance of Wave Propagation over Bed Ripples
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2011)The viscous, two-dimensional, free-surface flow induced by the propagation of nonlinear water waves over a rigid rippled bed was simulated numerically. The simulations were based on the numerical solution of the Navier-Stokes ... -
Seismic Displacement of Broken-Back Gravity Quay Walls
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2011)Quay walls are one of the key elements of port and harbor facilities; however, their collapse and unexpected displacements during earthquakes have caused disastrous damage and economic consequences. Therefore, adequate ... -
Estimation of Extreme Sea Levels in a Tide-Dominated Environment Using Short Data Records
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2011)A new method for estimating extreme sea levels from short sea-level records in a tide-dominated environment is presented. A short sea-level record is first decomposed into its constituent components such as tide, mean level ... -
