  • An experimental study and a three-dimensional numerical wave basin model of solitary wave impact on a vertical cylinder

    Creator:
    Zhang, Wenbin
    Abstract:
    An experiment on solitary wave impact on a vertical cylinder was conducted in the three-dimensional wave basin at the Oregon State University Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory. The cylinder was designed using mechanic principles and finite element analysis techniques to enable accurate measurement of horizontal force and overturning moment. Video data...

    . Regression analysis shows the predicted force and moment are functions of wave-amplitude to water-depth H

  • Hybrid approach to estimating nearshore bathymetry using remote sensing

    Creator:
    Catalán Mondaca, Patricio A.
    Abstract:
    The characterization of bathymetry and its time evolution is very important for both oceanographic science applications, and for societal reasons relating to coastal engineering and development. Historically, the process of depth surveying has been costly and labor-intensive. This is especially true in nearshore regions, hence a method that is both...

  • Laboratory observations of tsunami runup on a complex 3D bathymetry using PIV

    Creator:
    Ichikawa, Shingo
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents the details of a large-scale laboratory experiment to study the runup velocity on a complex 3D bathymetry. The PIV measurements including the instrumental setup, the recording procedure, and the image processing are presented. Tsunami inundation directly affects the coastal population and is one of the most important...

  • Wave propagation processes at the mouth of the Columbia River

    Creator:
    Andes, Lisa (Lisa Christine)
    Abstract:
    The mouth of the Columbia River (MCR) has a longstanding reputation of hazardous navigational conditions. This reputation has been developing since the first ship, the Columbia, traversed through the inlet in 1792. The hazardous conditions are related to the large waves and strong tidal currents that are common in the...
