Creator:: Grecco, Michael G.
Abstract:: The dynamic response of an offshore structure to measured and simulated stochastic wave forces is investigated. The theoretical nondeterministic analysis is performed in the frequency domain for a two-dimensional model. The ocean wave system is assumed to be a zero mean, stationary, ergodic Gaussian process described by a one-dimensional wave...

Creator:: Baliga, B. R. (B. Ravindranath)
Abstract:: The stochastic and the Fourier theories for sand waves developed by Lee(11) and Hino(6), respectively, for unidirectional flows are extended in order to estimate the rate of sediment turnover (RST) under oscillatory flows in the South Slough estuary, Coos Bay, Oregon. Data were collected by a mechanical and a sonic...

Creator:: Chen, Min-Chu
Abstract:: A second-order nonlinear diffraction theory is developed for a large diameter circular cylinder under the action of surface gravity waves of finite amplitude in water of-finite depth. Boundary value problems are derived by using a perturbation expansion and the solutions for the diffracted waves are given in terms of Fredholm...

Creator:: Kim, Tae In
Abstract:: A complete solution, exact to second-order, for wave motion forced by a hinged-wavemaker of variable-draft is presented. A solution for a piston type wavemaker is also obtained as a special case of a hinged-wavemaker with negative infinite draft. The existing Stokes inviscid theories for mass transport is extended to include...

Creator:: Roley, Kenneth L.
Abstract:: The decision to bury high level nuclear wastes in deep geological formations led to the study of the Hanford Nuclear Reservation as one of three possible sites for the first nuclear waste repository in the United States. To adequately evaluate the environmental impact of siting nuclear waste repositories in basalt...

Creator:: Bowline, Cynthia M.
Abstract:: The Melnikov method is applied to a model of parametrically generated cross-waves in a long rectangular channel in order to determine if these cross-waves are chaotic. A great deal of preparation is involved in order to obtain a suitable form for the application of the Melnikov method. The Lagrangian for...

Creator:: Fadel, Suzan M.
Abstract:: The Wiggins-Holmes extension of the generalized Melnikov method (GMM) is applied to weakly damped parametrically excited cross waves with surface tension in a long rectangular wave channel in order to determine if these cross waves are chaotic. The Lagrangian density function for surface waves with surface tension is simplified by...
