  • Laboratory Observations of Tsunami-Driven Debris Damming with Comparison to ASCE 7-22 Minimum Design Loads

    Creator:
    Doyle, Kellen C.
    Abstract:
    Tsunami inundation of coastal communities can impose a wide array of forces on the built environment. Forces generated by tsunami-driven debris damming have the potential to cause failure of coastal structures and further accumulate flow-entrained debris. Since tsunami-resilient design standards were adopted by ASCE in 2016, debris damming considerations have...

  • Hydraulic experiments on impact forces from tsunami-driven debris

    Creator:
    Ko, Harrison T.
    Abstract:
    Impact by an idealized shipping container on a column were observed for tsunami flow in a large-scale wave flume modeled at the O.H. Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory at Oregon State University. Two specimen types, aluminum and acrylic, were tested; and each specimen was tested in two orientations, longitudinal and transverse....

  • Numerical Studies on Fluid-Structure Interaction and Applications

    Creator:
    Chen, Ming
    Abstract:
    Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) has been of significant research interest worldwide over the past several decades because of its variety of applications in both offshore and coastal engineering. Researchers analyzing FSI systems rely heavily on experimental tests in model scale in laboratories or large-scale sea trials. However, these tests are often...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Physical Modeling of Progressive Damage and Failure of Wood-Frame Coastal Residential Structures Due to Waves and Surge Forces

    Creator:
    Duncan, Sean M.
    Abstract:
    A physical model study was performed to examine the forces and response of 1:6 scale wood-frame coastal residential structures subjected to storm surge and waves. An on-grade and an elevated specimen were tested and exposed to regular waves with varying water depths and wave heights to simulate Hurricane Sandy’s conditions....

  • 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...
