Amplification of solitary waves along a vertical wall

Creator:

Li, Wenwen

Abstract:

Reflection of an obliquely incident solitary wave at a vertical wall is studied experimentally in the laboratory wave tank. Precision measurements of water-surface variations are achieved with the aid of laser-induced fluorescent (LIF) technique and detailed temporal and spatial features of the Mach reflection are captured. During the development stage...

Developing safety performance functions for 4-leg single-lane roundabouts based on Oregon data : a case study

Creator:

Zheng, Jianfei

Abstract:

Roundabouts have become an alternative for traditional intersections due to the safer operational performance. Previous research has provided crash modification factors (CMFs) as a criterion based on before-after studies as to evaluate the safety performance of roundabouts. One drawback of assessment based on crash modification factors, however, is that a...

Masters Thesis
Construction risks allocation : optimal risk allocation decision support model

Creator:

Alsalman, Ali Abdullah

Abstract:

It has been suggested that projects in the construction industry are subject to risks more than other industries. However, there is often little parity in allocation of risks in the construction industry. Usually, project participants allocate risks by aversion where owners tend to shift risks to the primary contractor, who...

Pedestrian safety at signalized intersections operating the flashing yellow arrow

Creator:

Tuss, Halston

Abstract:

At signalized intersections, pedestrians are considered to be amongst the most vulnerable. When in the crosswalk at intersections without protected left-turn phasing, pedestrians are particularly at risk from left-turning vehicles. Until recently, a wide variety of indications were in use across the US to indicate a permissive left-turn condition to...

Practical modeling for load paths in a realistic, light-frame wood house

Creator:

Pfretzschner, Kathryn S.

Abstract:

The objective of this study was to develop and validate practical modeling methods for investigating load paths and system behavior in a realistic, light-frame wood structure. The modeling methods were validated against full-scale tests on subassemblies and an L-shaped house. The model of the L-shaped house was then modified and...

Masters Thesis
Wave field patterns generated by wave energy converters

Creator:

McNatt, J. Cameron

Abstract:

The eventual deployment of wave energy converters (WECs) on a commercial scale will necessitate the grouping of devices into arrays or "wave farms," in order to minimize overhead costs of mooring, maintenance, installation, and electrical cabling for shoreward power delivery. Closely spaced WECs will interact hydrodynamically through diffracted and radiated...

Masters Thesis
Nearshore wave predictions along the Oregon and southwest Washington coast

Creator:

García-Medina, Gabriel

Abstract:

This thesis contains a manuscript describing the implementation of a high resolution wave forecasting model for the coasts of Washington and Oregon. The purpose of this project was to advance the wave predictive capabilities of the states of Oregon and the southwest part of Washington by including the effects of...

Masters Thesis
Laboratory observations and numerical modeling of the effects of an array of wave energy converters

Creator:

Porter, Aaron K.

Abstract:

This thesis investigates the effects of wave energy converters (WECs) on water waves through the analysis of extensive laboratory experiments, as well as subsequent numerical simulations. Data for the analysis was collected during the WEC-Array Experiments performed at the O.H. Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory at Oregon State University, under co-operation...

Wave modeling at the mouth of the Columbia River

Creator:

Kassem, Sarah

Abstract:

As the second largest river in the U.S., the entrance to the Columbia River is home to some of the most extreme wave conditions on the Pacific Coast. Winter storms commonly generate waves 6-8 m in height, which in combination with strong tidal currents, can produce dangerous navigation conditions. To...

Ensemble-based data assimilation and depth inversion on the Kootenai River, ID, USA

Creator:

Landon, Kyle C.

Abstract:

Velocity measurements from drifter GPS records are assimilated and used in an ensemble-based inversion technique to extract the river bathymetry. The method is tested on a deep meandering reach and a shallow braided reach of the Kootenai River in Idaho, USA. The Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) is used to...
