  • Laboratory observations of tsunami runup on a complex 3D bathymetry using PIV

    Creator:
    Ichikawa, Shingo
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents the details of a large-scale laboratory experiment to study the runup velocity on a complex 3D bathymetry. The PIV measurements including the instrumental setup, the recording procedure, and the image processing are presented. Tsunami inundation directly affects the coastal population and is one of the most important...

  • Design and implementation of a physical model for Keystone Harbor, WA

    Creator:
    Richmond, J. Brady
    Abstract:
    Strong tidal currents experienced at Keystone Harbor, WA, have caused navigational hazards and disrupted ferry service in the area. This thesis presents details of the design, construction and implementation of a large scale physical model of Keystone Harbor used to evaluate the effectiveness of proposed jetty design alternatives to improve...

  • Toward wave energy in Oregon : predicting wave conditions and extracted power

    Creator:
    Oskamp, Jeffrey A.
    Abstract:
    Knowledge of wave conditions in nearshore regions supports the development of ocean wave energy technology by providing wave climatology for device design considerations, and power output estimates. By modeling wave transformation over the continental shelf, wave conditions were predicted in nearshore regions where potential wave energy conversion sites are located....

  • Influence of macro-roughness on tsunami runup & forces

    Creator:
    Bridges, Kerri-Jane
    Abstract:
    This thesis is comprised of a manuscript based on a laboratory experiment run in the Tsunami Wave Basin as part of a research project funded by the Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation called Housesmash. The purpose of the experiment was to better understand the role of the urban environment, represented...

  • Flow visualization for wake formation under solitary wave flow

    Creator:
    Seiffert, Betsy Rose
    Abstract:
    The use of data extracted from particle image velocimetry (PIV) along with vector and tensor visualization techniques provides a valuable tool for understanding a complex flow field. By studying a simple geometric structure such as a cylinder under a simple transient waveform, fundamental mechanisms of wake development under solitary wave...

  • An analysis of wave forces on prototype walls under tsunami loading

    Creator:
    Oshnack, Mary Elizabeth
    Abstract:
    This thesis is comprised of two manuscripts based on a laboratory experiment conducted to examine realistic wave forcing on a vertical wall subjected to tsunami loading. The first manuscript examined tsunami force and pressure distributions on a rigid wall that was fronted by a small seawall. Six different seawall heights...

  • Large-scale laboratory observations of wave forces on a highway bridge superstructure

    Creator:
    Bradner, Christopher
    Abstract:
    The experimental setup and data are presented for a laboratory experiment conducted to examine realistic wave forcing on a highway bridge superstructure. The experiments measure wave conditions along with the resulting forces, pressures, and structural response of a 1:5 scale, reinforced concrete model of a typical section of the I-10...
