Field validation of a nearshore circulation model for alongshore-nonuniform flows

Creator:: Wilson, Gregory W.
Abstract:: We investigate, theoretically and experimentally, the problem of modeling depth-integrated (2DH) surf zone circulation on an alongshore-nonuniform natural beach, with waves approaching from an arbitrary angle. An approximate theoretical model is developed, which captures the important effect of advection in the alongshore dynamics, and shows that a nondimensional parameter Re[subscript]s...

Development and comparison of two alternate display formats for an AgendaManager interface

Creator:: Wilson, Robert B. (Robert Brian)
Abstract:: Modern commercial air travel is considered by most transportation specialists to be the safest of all forms of transportation. While safe, any loss of life is tragic and the only really acceptable state of commercial air transport safety is that of 'zero-tolerance' where no accident is acceptable. Research has demonstrated...

Data assimilation for prediction of shallow water flows with uncertain bathymetry

Creator:: Wilson, Gregory W.
Abstract:: A new method is introduced for incorporating bathymetric uncertainty into predictions of nearshore and river flows (i.e., unstratified flows primarily forced by pressure and radiation stress gradients). The method involves the use of the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) as a parameter estimation scheme, where the parameter to be estimated is...

Using An Array of NE Pacific Margin Sediment Samples to Link Land and Ocean Responses to Glacial-Interglacial Climate Variability

Creator:: Wilson, Kiya L.
Abstract:: Variability in the terrigenous (land-derived) fraction of marine sediments, including pollen and rock fragments, reflects the effects of regional climate change on continentally derived runoff, ice extent, vegetation and ocean circulation. The transport of this continental material to the seafloor must be understood in order to interpret the terrigenous sediment...

Elementary Forest Surveying and Mapping II

Creator:: Wilson, Robert L.
Abstract:: This text was written for the purpose of explaining the use of the engineer's transit, theodolite, engineer's level and plane table in the solution of fundamental problems related to Forest Engineering. While the use of the infrared and electronic distance measuring instruments do have a place in Forest Engineering, they...

A productivity study and machine selection technique for rubber tired skidders in Tasmania, Australia

Creator:: Wilson, Robert A.
Abstract:: Time study data was collected for two horsepower classes of rubber tired skidders from field operations controlled by Associated Pulp and Paper Mills, Ltd., Tasmania, Australia. A wide range of site and logging conditions were used to produce both production per hour and cycle time predictive equations. The resultant equations...

Conservation of Sidalcea nelsoniana through habitat management : effects of burning, mowing, and altered flooding regime on a rare Willamette Valley perennial

Creator:: Bartels, Marilynn R.
Abstract:: Active habitat management plays a key role in the preservation of native ecosystems and rare species, especially in the Willamette Valley of Oregon, where natural succession to woodlands threatens the few wetland prairies remaining after 150 years of agriculture and urbanization. Sidalcea nelsoniana, listed as threatened under the federal Endangered...

Direct Numerical Simulation of Anisotropic Particles in Turbulent Flow

Creator:: Roberts, Kai
Abstract:: Turbulent flows with suspended, non-spherical particles are common in many natural and industrial processes. To identify the effects of anisotropic geometry on particle dynamics, a one-way coupled Lagrangian direct numerical simulation solver was written, verified, and used to collect data on particles simulated in multiple flows. This thesis explains the...

Functional groups, traits, and the performance of species in restoration

Creator:: Roberts, Rachael E. (Rachael Elaine)
Abstract:: In ecological restoration, species that are sown to increase the native plant diversity range in establishment ability. Some species readily establish, while others rarely do. This study set out to investigate some of the potential processes influencing species establishment, as well as the traits that are associated with the success...
