A laboratory experiment on sand bar migration with comparisons to recent models

Creator:: Magalen, Jason
Abstract:: Successful prediction of nearshore sediment migration is important in determining the vulnerability of a coastline. During energetic wave climates (storm events) sediment rapidly erodes from beaches and is deposited offshore. In subsequent milder wave conditions, the sediment migrates shoreward, accreting on the beach and helping to protect the coastline. It...

Offshore controls on nearshore circulation

Creator:: Long, Joseph W.
Abstract:: The rip current field resulting from the transformation of surface gravity waves over offshore submarine canyons is studied. Employing a wave transformation model and a wave-induced circulation model over observed bathymetry we find that rip current circulation cells exist with alongshore spacing of O(1OOm) even though the nearshore bathymetry displayed...

Organizational factors in the reliability assessment of offshore systems

Creator:: Biondi, Esteban L.
Abstract:: The reliability of ocean systems is dependent on organizational factors. It has been shown that low probability / high consequence system failures are overwhelmingly induced by organizational factors. However, no methodology is yet widely accepted for the evaluation of this phenomenon or its accurate quantification. A qualitative complementary approach is...

Large-scale laboratory observations of wave forces on a highway bridge superstructure

Creator:: Bradner, Christopher
Abstract:: The experimental setup and data are presented for a laboratory experiment conducted to examine realistic wave forcing on a highway bridge superstructure. The experiments measure wave conditions along with the resulting forces, pressures, and structural response of a 1:5 scale, reinforced concrete model of a typical section of the I-10...

Use of benthic sediments as indicators of marina flushing

Creator:: Noble, Scott Morgan
Abstract:: This report presents the findings of a sediment analysis program formulated to determine the flushing potential of various shaped small boat marina basins. Chemical tests regarding volatile solids, Kjeldahl nitrogen, grease and oil, and sulfides were performed with the results compared to established sediment quality criteria. These results were used...

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...

Nearshore hydrodynamic model comparisons and predictions of bathymetric evolution

Creator:: Lescinski, Jamie M.
Abstract:: The surf zone exhibits large energetic signals from wave shoaling and subsequent dissipation due to breaking, forcing circulation. The bathymetry responds to the wave and wave-induced circulation with the growth, transport, and destruction of large scale bathymetric features, such as mega ripples and sand bars. There is an obvious fluctuation...
