  • Airphoto analysis of estuarine circulation

    Creator:
    Weise, Harry Gordon
    Abstract:
    Aerial photography has become a valuable method of acquiring information on estuarine current circulation patterns. The method provides a comprehensive picture of nearly simultaneous surface water movements. It represents a significant improvement over conventional surface float and current meter methods because large areas may be covered in great detail with...

  • Large scale model testing of the FMC submerged wave attenuation device

    Creator:
    Huber, David S.
    Abstract:
    This report describes the hydrodynamic testing and evaluation of a one-tenth scale model of the FMC Wave Attenuation Device. The purpose of the test was to quantify the wave attenuation characteristics and structural loading induced by a test program of monochromatic incident waves on the submerged structure. The device was...

  • A large scale model study of placed stone breakwaters

    Creator:
    DeBok, Donald H.
    Abstract:
    The results of three hydraulic model tests to evaluate the stability of a placed stone breakwater are presented and discussed. The prototype breakwater was designed to protect offshore power and port facilities in 60 feet of water and was tested at scale ratios of 1:10, 1:20, and 1:100. The armor...

  • Design and implementation of a physical model for Keystone Harbor, WA

    Creator:
    Richmond, J. Brady
    Abstract:
    Strong tidal currents experienced at Keystone Harbor, WA, have caused navigational hazards and disrupted ferry service in the area. This thesis presents details of the design, construction and implementation of a large scale physical model of Keystone Harbor used to evaluate the effectiveness of proposed jetty design alternatives to improve...

  • Simulation of random, nonlinear wave forces on a circular cylindrical pile

    Creator:
    Tuah, Hang
    Abstract:
    Two types of linear random wave simulation methods are investigated; viz., (1) Deterministic Spectral Amplitude (DSA) and (2) Nondeterministic Spectral Amplitude (NSA). These linear simulations are extended to second-order in a perturbation expansion in the frequency domain by utilizing a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). The nonlinear interaction matrix for waves...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Flows associated with harbor ship traffic

    Creator:
    Downs, Richard Allen
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to ascertain the potential erosion impacts associated with ship movements in confined waters. The flow associated with a ship passage can be separated accordingly: (1) the propeller wake, (2) flow about the hull, and (3) associated waves. Each of these areas has been analyzed...

  • 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...

    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...
