  • Effects of Wave Nonlinearity and Vertical Variation of Vegetation Density on Wave Attenuation

    Creator:
    Wu, Wei-Cheng
    Abstract:
    The understanding and prediction how coastal wetland vegetation attenuates wave action has received renewed attention with global climate change impacts and increasing populations on coastlines. Conventional attenuation models utilize empirical drag coefficients, but these coefficients exhibit a wide range of values, and there is some uncertainty in the relative importance...

  • Experimental and numerical modeling of wave height attenuation by emergent coastal vegetation

    Creator:
    Blackmar, Philip James
    Abstract:
    Coastal vegetation dampens waves which can provide benefits to the local area, but existing literature shows large variations in the degree of wave height attenuation depending on plant properties and wave conditions. Better knowledge of how to predict the wave height decay accurately in different types of vegetation may help...

  • Observations and prediction of intermittent sediment suspension in the surf zone

    Creator:
    Yoon, Hyun Doug
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation the interactions between hydrodynamics, sediment suspension and transport, and morphological evolution in the surf zone was investigated with a large-scale laboratory experiment data, CROss-Shore Sediment Transport Experiment (CROSSTEX). The data set included comprehensive measurements of water surface elevation, fluid velocity, sediment concentration, and morphology for irregular waves...
