Flexible membrane wave barrier

Thompson, Gary O. (1991-05-02)

This report details the derivation of an analytical model for a flexible membrane wave barrier. The wave barrier consists of a thin flexible membrane suspended in the water column by a moored cylindrical buoy on the fr ...
Fractal solutions to the long wave equations

Ajiwibowo, Harman (2002-09-13)

The fractal dimension of measured ocean wave profiles is found to be in the range of 1.5-1.8. This non-integer dimension indicates the fractal nature of the waves. Standard formulations to analyze waves are based on a ...
Interaction of water waves and deformable bodies

Broderick, Laurie L. (1991-07-25)

A time-domain model was developed to predict the fluid/structure interaction of a three-dimensional deformable body in a fluid domain subject to long-crested finite amplitude waves. These nonlinear waves induce transie ...
