Wave propagation processes at the mouth of the Columbia River

Creator:

Andes, Lisa (Lisa Christine)

Abstract:

The mouth of the Columbia River (MCR) has a longstanding reputation of hazardous navigational conditions. This reputation has been developing since the first ship, the Columbia, traversed through the inlet in 1792. The hazardous conditions are related to the large waves and strong tidal currents that are common in the...

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...
