  • Interstitial fluid mixing in estuarine benthic sediments

    Creator:
    Boyce, Allen R.
    Abstract:
    A method of measuring interstitial fluid mixing rates for evaluation of exchange between pore water of estuarine benthic sediments and the overlying water in a bay is presented. Pore water movement is monitored by reducing conductivity of the interstitial fluid within a zone of the benthic sediment to a depth...

  • 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...

  • Ocean wave-soil-geotextile interaction

    Creator:
    McDougal, W. G. (William George)
    Abstract:
    Geotextiles are synthetic fabrics which may be substituted for graded aggregate to protect ocean and coastal structures from erosion and soil instability adjacent to the structure. They are commonly used as a filter and as a structural membrane between an undisturbed sediment surface below and an erosion resistant coarse aggregate...

  • 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...

  • Three dimensional dynamic video position sensing

    Creator:
    Jansky, L. Andrew
    Abstract:
    A comprehensive system to locate and track objects in two or three dimensional space, using non-contact video sensing techniques is described. The need exists to be able to quantify range and proximity of objects that would be difficult or impossible to measure using standard contact based sensor technology. Available video...

  • Diffusion in a variable density liquid under conditions of turbulent, steady flow

    Creator:
    Harris, Dennis Roy
    Abstract:
    The diffusion process in a variable density, turbulent flow is a factor which greatly influences the waste disposal characteristics of tidal estuaries. Waste disposal from cities and industries, is posing an increasing threat to the estuarine environment. Accurate prediction of the effects of proposed waste outfalls in well-mixed estuaries (which...
