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...

Dynamic response of an offshore structure to measured and simulated stochastic wave forces

Creator:: Grecco, Michael G.
Abstract:: The dynamic response of an offshore structure to measured and simulated stochastic wave forces is investigated. The theoretical nondeterministic analysis is performed in the frequency domain for a two-dimensional model. The ocean wave system is assumed to be a zero mean, stationary, ergodic Gaussian process described by a one-dimensional wave...

An eigenvalue wave analysis of a fixed semi-immersed rectangular structure

Creator:: Steimer, Robert Bruce
Abstract:: The problem of a fixed rectangular structure of unit width in a train of simple harmonic normally-incident waves is modeled. The solution allows for variable (1) length and draft of structure, (2) differing depths in the three (fore, aft, and beneath the structure) distinct regions, and (3) wave period. The...

Finite amplitude deep water waves : a comparison of theoretical and experimental kinematics and dynamics

Creator:: Jensen, Robert E.
Abstract:: Problems associated with quantification of deep water wave kinematics and dynamics are examined. Summaries of Stokes' theory and Dean's stream function theory are reported. A computer algorithm is developed to solve the hydrodynamic characteristics for Stokes' fifth and third order and linear theories. Tests are initiated to verify the results...

The analysis of directional wave spectra from current and pressure measurements

Creator:: Lin, Li-hwa
Abstract:: Directional wave spectra have been estimated in this study based upon simultaneous subsurface measurements of current and pressure. Two previously developed methods, the stochastic and deterministic approaches, have been reviewed and restudied. It is demonstrated by means of the Correlation Theorem that the stochastic and deterministic approaches are, under certain...

Hydrodynamic forces on a horizontal cylinder under waves and current

Creator:: Teng, Chung-chu
Abstract:: By assuming the linear superposition principle to be valid, the hydrodynamic forces on a horizontal cylinder under waves and current are examined. In this study, towing a cylinder in waves is used to simulate a cylinder under waves and current. The experimental technique is proved valid through theoretical considerations and...

Pollution and tidal flushing predictions for Oregon's estuaries

Creator:: Choi, Byungho
Abstract:: The overriding goal of this study was to provide first order estimates of dilution and tidal flushing of waste discharges released hypothetically into various Oregon estuaries during critical low flows and tides. Causal relationships between discharged wastes and subsequent estuarine response were studied. Various approaches to determine the assimilative capacity...

Seasonal variations in tidal dynamics, water quality and sediments in the Alsea Estuary

Creator:: McKenzie, David Roller
Abstract:: During 1973 data was collected to analyze the seasonal variations of the tidal dynamics, water quality and sediments of the Alsea Estuary. A summary of historical information with a list of all known alterations to the estuary was made. A complete physical description, including the geographical setting and mixing classification...
