Coupled dynamics of bouys and mooring tethers

Idris, Krisnaldi (1995-05-19)

Time-domain models were developed to predict the response of a tethered buoy subject to hydrodynamic loadings. A coupled analysis of the interaction of a buoy and its mooring is included and three-dimensional response ...
Evaluation and application of ice segregation parameters for frost heave prediction

Ito, Yuzuru, 1958- (1993-06-29)

The success of civil engineering construction in cold regions often depends on the assessment of the potential for frost heave. Over the past two decades two models have been presented to the engineering community to i ...
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 ...
Laboratory observations and numerical modeling of the effects of an array of wave energy converters

Porter, Aaron K. (2012-08-13)

This thesis investigates the effects of wave energy converters (WECs) on water waves through the analysis of extensive laboratory experiments, as well as subsequent numerical simulations. Data for the analysis was collec ...
The measurement of nearshore bathymetry on intermediate and dissipative beaches

Côté, Jessica Magee (1999-01-22)

In 1996, Beach et al. first proposed the idea of mounting an echo-sounder on a Waverunner to measure nearshore beach profiles. This thesis discusses the Coastal Profiling System, an extension of the original work, whic ...
Numerical and physical modeling of wave forces on A-Jacks units

Wise, Larry (1999-07-20)

A numerical model is developed to estimate wave forces on A-Jacks armor units. The forces include drag, inertia, buoyancy, and slamming as the unit penetrates the free surface. The wave force model is used to determine t ...
Simulation of coastal processes in a circular wave basin

Katzev, David H. (1992-01-14)

The circular wave basin provides a means of physically modeling the nearshore without the typical problems associated with end walls. Three different coastal processes were examined to demonstrate the use of a spiral w ...
Wave runup on high energy dissipative beaches and the prediction of coastal erosion

Ruggiero, Peter (1997-04-11)
