Wave Interaction with Fluid Mud in Rectangular Trench
Wave interaction with fluid mud in a rectangular trench is studied theoretically based on small-amplitude wave theory. The problem was formulated using the Voigt model for an viscoelastic...
Nonlinear Shoaling and Impact of Waves on Coastal Structures
A two-dimensional fully nonlinear potential flow model is used to calculate shoaling of solitary and enoidal waves over a sloping bottom and interaction with submerged or emerged coastal...
The Effect of Wave Grouping on the Characteristic Wave Height
Wave data from two field stations and from the laboratory tests have been analyzed. The groupiness factor is used to categorize the wave data for the discussion of the correlation between...
Intermittent Kinematics for Nonlinear Random Waves Near Ocean Surface
Taking into account the fluctuations of the free surface for points in the vicinity of the still water level, this study analytically calculates the first four moments of wave velocity...
Two Basic Concepts in Offshore Engineering
Two concepts are developed which lead to an improved understanding of the characteristics of the wave forces that act on deep-water, jacket-type offshore structures. The first concept...
Applying Lessons from Extreme Environments to Solve Problems on Earth and in Space
Extreme environments on Earth and in space test human abilities to adapt, survive and undertake difficult and often dangerous tasks. Hardships and challenges posed by such environments...
Field Verification of a Wave-Induced Current Model
A unique data set of nearshore waves and current measurements over a bar-trough bathymetry was collected during a field experiment at Duck, NC, in October 1990. These high-quality data...
A Coastal-Ocean Hindcast/Forecast Model
Flows in the coastal oceans are produced by interactions of different components: tides, winds, buoyancy discharge from estuaries, topography and remote forcing of deeper-ocean origin....
Experiments with a Terrain-Following Hydrodynamic Model for Cobscook Bay in the Gulf of Maine
A terrain-following (sigma-coordinate) hydrodynamic model with 10 vertical levels and horizontal resolution of 225 m on a 70?60 grid has been applied to Cobscook Bay, located in the eastern...
3-D Modelling of Heat Discharge from Ul-Jin Power Plant into Coastal Waters of Korea East Sea
This study focuses on the problems of simulating the coastal currents and their effect on the distribution of heated cooling water from the Ul-Jin power plant into coastal waters of Korea...
Estimation of Wind Fields for Coastal Modeling
Wind is an essential driving force for waves, circulation, and storm surge in coastal and estuarine areas. As with other horizontally 2-dimensional models, Corps of Engineers' (CE) numerical...
Hurricane Camille Shelf Wave Simulation Using a Numerical Ocean Circulation Model
The hurricane generated shelf waves for Hurricane Camille (1969) are studied using a three-dimensional, thermodynamical, primitive equation, ocean circulation model developed at Princeton...
A Competitive Framework for Evaluating the Economic Benefits of Port Improvements
This paper presents an economic model for analyzing the benefits and optimal timing of port capacity increases. The model is presented through a case study of the Port of Ningbo, along...
Estuarine and Coastal Modeling
This is the proceedings of the second ASCE specialty conference on Estuarine and Coastal Modeling devoted to the rapidly evolving field of marine environmental modeling. The primary focus...
From Sludge to Brokered Biosolids
At the end of June, a sludge filled barge pulled away from New York harbor for the last time. It traveled more than 100 mi offshore, where workers unloaded some of the 355 dry tons of...
Ports '92
This is a collection of the technical papers presented at the Ports '92 Conference held in July 1992 in Seattle, Washington. Initiated in 1977, this Conference is the sixth...
Specifying the Offshore Environment
Hindcasting has become a generally accepted method of producing long time series of environmental events from which environmental design criteria can be developed. The need for reliable...
Wave-Current Interaction with a Large Structure
The effects of a current on the diffraction of regular waves around a three-dimensional body are examined by a time-domain method. The Froude number is assumed to be small so that the...
Second-Order Hydrodynamic Interactions Between a Pair of Vertical Cylinders in Irregular Waves
A complete second-order solution is given for the hydrodynamic forces on a pair of bottom-mounted, surface-piercing, vertical circular cylinders in bichromatic seas. The constant structural...
Offshore Structures?Past, Present, and Future
A review of the evolution of offshore platforms concludes that the process is ongoing. New configurations continue to emerge and the range of applicability continues to expand. Today's...
