  • Boulder Transport by High Energy Surge

    Creator:
    Harry, Samuel T.
    Abstract:
    Boulder transport models have been used to develop a historical record of hydrodynamic events. This is done by evaluating the size, location, and composition of boulders that have been removed from their region of formation. Boulder transport is difficult to predict, even under laboratory conditions. Experiments were conducted to evaluate...

  • Long Wave Amplification in a Coral-Reef Lagoon

    Creator:
    Bheeroo, Vivek Anand
    Abstract:
    A series of laboratory experiments were conducted to study the wave field in the inner lagoon excited by ‘long’ incident waves. Three cases were considered: Cases A, B and C presenting incident waves of wavelength with factors of 1, 2 and 2.5 times the width of the reef respectively. The...

  • Review of guidelines for the design of tsunami vertical evacuation buildings

    Creator:
    Cawley, Jessica Grace
    Abstract:
    Tsunamis have the potential to inflict severe damage and loss of life in coastal communities. Structures known as vertical evacuation buildings provide an alternative evacuation site for communities living in relatively flat, coastal regions with inadequate sources of high ground for evacuation. Design of these structures balances risk and economy,...

  • Tsunami inundation : estimating damage and predicting flow properties

    Creator:
    Wiebe, Dane Michael
    Abstract:
    The 2004 Indian Ocean and 2011 Tohoku tsunami events have shown the destructive power of tsunami inundation to the constructed environment in addition to the tragic loss of life. A comparable event is expected for the Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ) which will impact the west coast of North America. Research...

  • Developing tools to improve tsunami resilient design of coastal structures

    Creator:
    Thomas, Seth Alan
    Abstract:
    Over the last decade the world has seen three major tsunamis strike the coasts of Indonesia, Samoa, and Chile. These tsunamis have caused significant losses of life and property on the coastal cities of these and nearby countries. The NEES (Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation) Housesmash project was created to...

  • Near-Surface Response of Beach Sand : An Experimental Investigation

    Creator:
    Adams, Rachel Katie
    Abstract:
    The near-surface region of a coastal sediment bed is complex and dynamic. At some sites, near-surface sediment deposits are susceptible to extreme events, such as tsunamis or other large overflows, which induce high shear stresses on the sediment bed. The specific properties of sediment beds subjected to such extreme loading...

  • 2D second-order asymmetric tensor field analysis and visualization

    Creator:
    Lin, Zhongzang
    Abstract:
    The gradient of a velocity vector field is an asymmetric tensor field which can provide critical insight that is difficult to infer from traditional trajectory-based vector field visualization techniques. I describe the structures in the eigenvalue and eigenvector fields of the gradient tensor and how these structures can be used...

  • Overestimation of cloud cover in the MODIS cloud product

    Creator:
    Schuetz, Andrea M.
    Abstract:
    The operational processing of MODIS imagery to produce the MOD06 cloud product is based on the assumption that cloudy 1-km pixels are overcast. This assumption is examined using a partly cloudy pixel retrieval scheme, which allows for fractional cloud cover within the 1-km pixels. Cloud flags attached to 250-m MODIS...

  • Volume-volume matching

    Creator:
    Sandhu, Avneet
    Abstract:
    Oftentimes in visualization, the goal of using volume datasets is not just to visualize them but also to analyze and compare them. In order to compare the two volumes, we cannot take all the voxels into consideration. The size of a typical volume data set is quite large (maybe a...

    Abstract:
    Sports analytics is rapidly evolving today through the use of computer vision systems that automatically extract huge amount of information inherently present in multimedia data without much human assistance. This information can facilitate a better understanding of patterns and strategies in various sports. However, for non-professional teams, due to expense...
