Air-Water Mass Transfer
This monograph, Air-Water Mass Transfer: Selected Papers from the Second International Symposium on Gas Transfer at Water Surfaces, consists of papers presented at the Symposium which...
On the Reliability of Offshore Platforms Against Random Sea Waves and Earthquake Motions
Dynamic response of offshore structures to random sea waves and strong earthquake motions is investigated. The wave-structure interaction is represented using the generalized Morison equation...
Stochastic Evaluation of Landing Pier Construction
This paper discusses the process of determining the magnitude of external force such as wind and wave pressure exerted on marine structures under construction, and the learning curve of...
Autocorrelation Functions for Offshore Geotechnical Data
Autocorrelation functions are described. Data from several North Sea sites are analyzed with respect to the vertical and horizontal autocorrelation of a number of soil properties. Based...
A Seismic PRA Procedure in Japan and its Application to a Building Perforance Safety Estimation: Part 1. Seismic Hazard Analysis
A method for seismic hazard evaluation which deals with response spectrum information is presented. A local city near Tokyo facing the Pacific Ocean is selected for the case study. It...
Some Insight in Autoregressive (AR) Spectral Modeling
The difficulties associated with the determination of reliable autoregressive (AR) approximations of the Pierson-Moskowitz and Davenport spectra are examined from the standpoint of developing...
Continuous Simulation of Gaussian Processes with Given Spectrum
A new algorithm, to be called MIMA (modulated interpolated moving average) allows stationary Gaussian processes with given spectral density to be simulated in continuous time, while providing...
Evolution of a Three-Dimensional Curvilinear-Grid Hydrodynamic Model for Estuaries, Lakes and Coastal Waters: CH3D
Traditional finite-difference models of estuarine, coastal and lake hydrodynamics and transport use rectangular Cartesian grids in the horizontal directions. In order to accurately represent...
Application of Particle Tracking Model for Ocean Outfall Siting in New Bedford, Massachusetts
PACE, a particle tracking model, was used to assist siting studies for an ocean outfall to be built in conjunction with the City of New Bedford's proposed new secondary wastewater...
On Numerical Strategies of Estuarine and Coastal Modeling
Numerous numerical models of circulation and transport for estuarine and coastal waters have been developed. A variety of numerical techniques are used by these numerical models. This...
Estuarine, Shelf, and Ocean Hydrodynamic Modelling Approaches
Estuarine, shelf, and ocean hydrodynamic modelling approaches are presented in order to explore the development of a coordinated set of models to describe the complex interactions between...
Glacial Icemelt in the Wind River Range, Wyoming
The Wind River Range of Wyoming contains the greatest concentration of glaciers in the American Rocky Mountains with two of the larger glaciers being Dinwoody and Gannett Glaciers. This...
Possible Climate Change and Its Impact on Snowmelt and Water Supply in California
Global climate modelers are forecasting relatively large future climate change, with warming of 2 to 5?C. These changes, if they do occur, would have major impacts on California's...
Water Quality of Jubba River in Somalia
Monitoring of water quality in the Jubba River in Somalia of East Africa, led to indications of a potential impact of toxic trace elements, salinity and biocides in restricting agricultural...
Groundwater Depletion and Salinity in Yazd, Iran
The central Iranian plateau contains part or all of five provinces and covers more than a third of the total area of Iran (Figure 3). This area has one of the most unfavorable hydrologic...
Field and Model Studies of Ocean Outfalls
Field and laboratory studies of the behavior of wastewater discharged from the San Francisco ocean outfall are reported. Wastefield behavior was predicted by the mathematical models RSB...
An Experimental Study of Oil Spreading in Ice Covered Waters
In this paper the experimental procedure and some preliminary observations from a new series of experiments on the mechanism of oil spreading under fragmented ice are presented. Laboratory...
Overview of Mathematical Models?River Nile/High Aswan Dam
This paper has been directed towards the presentation of seven reliable planning tools (mathematical models) that can be used for the investigation of the planning options facing policy...
Slurry Removal From a 2-D Fluidized Region
A two-dimensional fluidization experiment is performed on fine sand with a 5.08 cm diameter source pipe with horizontally opposed orifices, 0.317 cm in diameter, spaced 5.08 cm. Slurry...
