Abstract: Reliability of tidal-level forecasting is essential for structure installation and human activities in the marine environment. This paper reports an application of the artificial neural network with back-propagation ...

Abstract: In this study, an analytic solution of wave interaction with a rigid porous medium above a poro-elastic sandy bottom is derived to investigate the attenuation of the surface wave and the wave-induced soil response. In the ...

Abstract: This paper reports experimental results of the toe scour of seawall on a steep seabed with slope of 1:5 under the action of breaking waves. The equilibrium toe scour profiles were investigated and the depths of toe scours ...

Abstract: The installation of a drop pool in an open channel is aimed to dissipate the flow energy that diminishes the destruction of the downstream channel. Previous studies have been conducted experimentally on the hydraulic ...

Abstract: The velocity characteristics of a solitary wave shoaling in the prebreaking zone and near the breaking point are investigated experimentally. The study focuses on the near-bottom and boundary layer flows on a 1:10 slope, ...
