Application of Motion Capture Technologies to Assess the Free Surface and Track Waterborne Debris in Wave Research Laboratories

Creator:: Shultz, Jamie
Abstract:: In coastal and ocean engineering, understanding the ocean environment and the forces from waves, tsunamis and waterborne debris on structures and floating bodies is an important aspect of designing safe and effective infrastructure. Understanding the impact of these forces on structures becomes an important question in the design process. Answering...

Assessment of the Active Absorption System of the Large Wave Flume

Creator:: Savić, Una
Abstract:: The Large Wave Flume at the O.H. Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory houses a piston wavemaker with a built-in active absorption system designed by MTS Systems Corporation. The performance of the active absorption system has not been properly assessed yet. This thesis evaluates the performance of the MTS active absorption system...

Beach Dune Subsurface Hydrodynamics and the Formation of Dune Scarps

Creator:: Bond, Hailey G.
Abstract:: The formation of beach scarps is a challenging morphodynamic phenomenon that the coastal community has yet to capture in coastal change models. Understanding scarp formation is crucial to accurately predicting coastal erosion and vulnerability during extreme events, as models without parameters for scarp formation and development severely underpredict total erosion...

Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian Finite Element Modeling Approach Applied to Wave Structure Interaction: Effects of Shielding, Channeling, and Wall Removal

Creator:: Al-Sayhood, Zeyad A.
Abstract:: The impact of tsunamis on coastal structures gained great a new impetus following the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami and the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami. While several experimental programs have been performed to gain a fundamental understanding, numerical models are needed to study additional features that cannot all be tested...

Development and Analysis of Higher-order Nonlinear Wavemaker Theory for Intermediate to Deep-water Waves Based on Inverse Scattering Transform

Creator:: Mohtat, Ali
Abstract:: The modeling and analysis of laboratory-generated nonlinear intermediate- to deep-water wave fields, using existing wavemaker theories and analysis tools, is one of the most challenging tasks in ocean science and engineering. On one hand, harmonics function (sine and cosine) -based wavemaker theories result in an inherent (linear) instability of the...

Effect of an Idealized Mangrove Forest of Moderate Cross-shore Width on Loads Measured on a Sheltered Structure and Comparison with Predicted Forces

Creator:: Mitchell, William T.
Abstract:: As coastal communities face increasing chronic and acute hazards, nature-based coastal engineering solutions have experienced a rapid growth in popularity and interest. Recent works on this topic have shown that “Green Infrastructure” may be effective at mitigating coastal hazards and therefore provide sustainable adaptation alternatives to traditional engineering solutions such...

Engineering Services of Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV): Investigation of the Land-Building and Energy-Attenuating Properties of SAV Habitats Across Spatial Scales

Creator:: Holzenthal, Elizabeth R.
Abstract:: Submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) species, such as seagrasses, are highly valued in estuaries because of the many economic, ecological, and cultural services that they provide, including shelter for fisheries, minimizing water turbidity, and improving am-bient water quality. SAV can also alter its physical environment by attenuating wave and current velocities,...

Enhancing Detection of Marine Debris with Polarimetric Imagery

Creator:: Herrera, Frederick Kyle
Abstract:: Marine debris is a chronic and increasingly pervasive problem for coastal regions around the world. Debris poses environmental risks, threats to wildlife, and degradation of the natural environment. Recent research has shown the advantages of uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) for detection and recognition of marine debris, including the ability to...

Evaluating climate change induced coastal flood impacts to San Diego Bay Naval Infrastructure - a hybrid statistical dynamical modeling approach

Creator:: Anderson, Tyler P.
Abstract:: This study utilizes probabilistic surrogate modeling techniques around San Diego Bay with an emphasis on naval infrastructure and operations to evaluate the impact of five global mean sea level rise scenarios (GMSLR). Spatially continuous total water levels (TWLs) are combined with a digital elevation model (DEM) of the region to...

Evaluation of Stereoscopic Camera Systems for Non-Intrusive Spatial Free Surface Measurement in Coastal Research Laboratories

Creator:: O'Day, Christopher S.
Abstract:: Physical modelling is instrumental to the progression of coastal engineering research and our understanding of the offshore and nearshore environments. Scaled models are designed and built to be tested in coastal research laboratories, where a wave basin or flume generates the desired wave conditions for experimentation. The surrounding hydrodynamics of...
