Abstract: Laboratory experiments were conducted in a wave flume to measure wave conditions (height, period, and kinematics) that caused movement of submerged ordnance and cylinders. Laboratory results were analyzed and two empirical ...

Abstract: A Strategic Petroleum Reserve is being created along the Gulf coast of southeast Texas and southern Louisiana. Storage caverns have been created in salt domes using a leaching process, and the resultant brine solution is ...

Abstract: A new approach is described for the quantitative assessment of open-water disposal activities with regard to short- and long-term morphology of dredged material placed on the seafloor at designated open-water disposal ...

Abstract: The kinematics of an irregular wave is characteristically different from that of a regular wave with similar wave height and frequency in two respects. First, an irregular wave induces larger particle velocities near the ...

Abstract: Results of recent research on experimental investigation of wave‐fluid particle kinematics just prior to breaking using laser Doppler anemometry are presented. Extreme transient waves, similar to those found in hurricane ...
