  • Nowcast/forecast of storm surge and drawdown using a hybrid FE/ANN approach

    Creator:
    Darnell, Joel T.
    Abstract:
    In the northwestern Gulf of Mexico there is a need for reliable water level forecasts to facilitate safe commercial navigation, marine construction, and emergency management. Though the low amplitude tides of the region can be predicted with conventional harmonic techniques, frequent strong storms make accurate forecasts of water levels difficult....

  • Large-scale laboratory observations of wave breaking turbulence on a fixed barred beach

    Creator:
    Scott, Christopher P.
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents the details of a large-scale laboratory experiment to study the turbulence generated by waves breaking on a fixed barred beach. The data set includes comprehensive measurements of free surface displacement and fluid velocity for one random and one regular wave case. Observations of the time-averaged turbulent kinetic...

  • 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...

  • Laboratory observations and numerical modeling of inner surf and swash zone hydrodynamics on a steep slope

    Creator:
    Shin, Sungwon
    Abstract:
    Laboratory data of free surface elevations and fluid velocities were obtained using a laser-Doppler velocimeter for the case of a periodic wave plunging over an impermeable, steep (1:10) slope with a fixed bottom roughness. The measurements were conducted over 15 cross-shore locations from the outer surf zone to the swash...
