  • Breaking waves : a review of theory and measurements

    Creator:
    Gaughan, Michael Kenneth
    Abstract:
    Theoretical breaking criteria for progressive surface gravity waves are examined, and laboratory and field experiments concerned with breaking waves are reviewed with respect to the testing of these breaking criteria. The measurements of Komar and Simmons are presented here for the first time. Only three theoretical breaking criteria have been...

  • Towed observations of internal waves in the upper ocean

    Creator:
    Spoering, Thomas James
    Abstract:
    Observations between 20 and 40 m depth were made with a towed thermostor chain in the North Pacific. Despite the rapid vertical variation of buoyancy frequency, spectra of isotherm displacements are in fair agreement with other observations and with the Garrett-Munk model. The spectra show evidence of a shoulder and...

  • Energy reference sources

    Creator:
    Hsieh, Kitty A.
    Abstract:
    This bibliography is prepared for researchers in various fields of energy, teachers and students at the college level or above, and whoever helps the above people with their research or teaching. Emphasis is placed on users of the Oregon State University Library, hence a call number (in parenthesis) is given...

  • Acoustic surface wave delay device

    Creator:
    Bhaskar, Eldurkar Vamanrao
    Abstract:
    This thesis is an experimental study of an acoustic surface wave delay line using a Lithium Niobate crystal. A brief theory of operation of the interdigital transducer with its advantages over the other methods of exciting and detecting acoustic surface waves is discussed. The experimental procedure used for evaluation of...

  • Sand waves in a pristine estuary

    Creator:
    Baliga, B. R. (B. Ravindranath)
    Abstract:
    The stochastic and the Fourier theories for sand waves developed by Lee(11) and Hino(6), respectively, for unidirectional flows are extended in order to estimate the rate of sediment turnover (RST) under oscillatory flows in the South Slough estuary, Coos Bay, Oregon. Data were collected by a mechanical and a sonic...

  • Large scale model testing of the FMC submerged wave attenuation device

    Creator:
    Huber, David S.
    Abstract:
    This report describes the hydrodynamic testing and evaluation of a one-tenth scale model of the FMC Wave Attenuation Device. The purpose of the test was to quantify the wave attenuation characteristics and structural loading induced by a test program of monochromatic incident waves on the submerged structure. The device was...

  • The use of electromagnetic Walsh waves in radar

    Creator:
    Schaffer, Alvin
    Abstract:
    The question of the suitability of Walsh functions or similar bi-valued functions used as a radar electromagnetic carrier waveform is considered. Walsh functions are described and effective sinusoidal steady state transfer functions are defined for transmission elements, antenna systems, and propagation media. The argument is made that the unit impulse...

  • Energy exchange studies at the earth's surface. II. Energy budget of a pumice desert

    Creator:
    Holbo, Harold Richard
    Abstract:
    The energy budget of a pumice desert surface was analyzed under clear skies during early, mid-and late summer periods. The pumice site is in the semi-arid plateau region of Central Oregon at an elevation of about 1500 meters. The flat pumice surface is approximately 250 hectares in extent, and is...
