  • 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...

  • Analysis of rip current embayments on the Oregon coast

    Creator:
    Dalon, Matthew M.
    Abstract:
    Understanding the past, present, and future behavior of our nation's shorelines is vital for sensible coastal management. Localized areas of erosion, termed "erosional hot spots", can shift the shoreline landward threatening coastal infrastructure (Kraus and Galgano, 2001; Stauble and Gravens, 2004; McNinch, 2004). One specific type of erosional hot spot...
