Wave interaction with rubble mound structures

Creator:: Yoo, Chul-hee
Abstract:: The objective of this study is the development and verification of an analytical solution for an unsteady flow field partially occupied by a permeable structure. Flow is induced by a small amplitude incident wave train and the permeable structure may contain multilayered anisotropic but homogeneous material. The analytical solution developed...

Ocean wave interaction with a caisson on a rubble base

Creator:: Ward, Donald L. (Donald LeRoy), 1954-
Abstract:: Caissons are frequently used in the coastal environment for breakwaters, jetties, seawalls, and piers. Because a satisfactory analytical solution to a typical caisson installation has not been developed, design of a caisson-style structure typically is either based on physical model testing, which is expensive, or the structure is designed as...

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...

An analysis of wave forces on prototype walls under tsunami loading

Creator:: Oshnack, Mary Elizabeth
Abstract:: This thesis is comprised of two manuscripts based on a laboratory experiment conducted to examine realistic wave forcing on a vertical wall subjected to tsunami loading. The first manuscript examined tsunami force and pressure distributions on a rigid wall that was fronted by a small seawall. Six different seawall heights...

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...

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...

An experimental study and a three-dimensional numerical wave basin model of solitary wave impact on a vertical cylinder

Creator:: Zhang, Wenbin
Abstract:: An experiment on solitary wave impact on a vertical cylinder was conducted in the three-dimensional wave basin at the Oregon State University Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory. The cylinder was designed using mechanic principles and finite element analysis techniques to enable accurate measurement of horizontal force and overturning moment. Video data...

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...

Coastal sand dunes in the U.S. Pacific Northwest : regional variability in foredune geomorphology and associated physical vulnerability to hazards

Creator:: Mull, Jeremy M.
Abstract:: Coastal foredunes protect lives, infrastructure, and ecosystems during severe winter storms. In the U.S. Pacific Northwest (PNW), coastal foredune geomorphology is determined by both physical and ecological mechanisms. Before the 1900's, the native plant Elymus mollis was the dominant dune grass and dune morphology was largely determined by sediment supply...
