  • Data assimilation for prediction of shallow water flows with uncertain bathymetry

    Creator:
    Wilson, Gregory W.
    Abstract:
    A new method is introduced for incorporating bathymetric uncertainty into predictions of nearshore and river flows (i.e., unstratified flows primarily forced by pressure and radiation stress gradients). The method involves the use of the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) as a parameter estimation scheme, where the parameter to be estimated is...

  • Extreme Wave Runup and Runup Variability on Beaches

    Creator:
    Li, Chuan
    Abstract:
    Wave runup is an important physical process that affects nearshore sediment transport, coastal erosion, and flooding. Large and unexpected runup events can also be dangerous to beach goers. Extreme runup statistics are essential parameters used in engineering design of marine structures and in coastal management. Although the study of runup...
