Book excerpt: While investigating the Tsunami wave project, a numerical method was devised to solve the initial boundary value problem for the equations of the non-linear shallow water theory. The case of one horizontal dimension was considered in a domain bounded by a shore at one end, with the motion of the shoreline taken into account. In addition, this method enabled the incident wave to be introduced at the seaward end of the domain. The water was assumed to be at rest in the domain until the incident wave arrived, and the bottom was assumed to slope uniformly. (Author).

Download or read book Coastal Dynamics 95 written by William R. Dally and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 1084 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ninety-two proceedings papers from the 1995 conference reviewing large-scale field and laboratory experiments in the European Community, Japan, the US, and the former Soviet-Bloc countries of Russia, Bulgaria, East Germany, and Poland. These volume particularly features the discussions from those latter countries since most of their experiments have not been, until now, released to the West. In more specific terms, the papers report findings in wave motion in vegetated and non-vegetated coastal zone, surf zone modeling, planform considerations of beach nourishment, swash dynamics, runup, low- frequency motion, longshore currents, cross-shore transport, and profile evolution.

Download or read book Waves in Oceanic and Coastal Waters written by Leo H. Holthuijsen and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-02-04 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Waves in Oceanic and Coastal Waters describes the observation, analysis and prediction of wind-generated waves in the open ocean, in shelf seas, and in coastal regions with islands, channels, tidal flats and inlets, estuaries, fjords and lagoons. Most of this richly illustrated book is devoted to the physical aspects of waves. After introducing observation techniques for waves, both at sea and from space, the book defines the parameters that characterise waves. Using basic statistical and physical concepts, the author discusses the prediction of waves in oceanic and coastal waters, first in terms of generalised observations, and then in terms of the more theoretical framework of the spectral energy balance. He gives the results of established theories and also the direction in which research is developing. The book ends with a description of SWAN (Simulating Waves Nearshore), the preferred computer model of the engineering community for predicting waves in coastal waters.

Book excerpt: Over 100 field, laboratory, theoretical, and numerical studies focus narrowly on natural shorelines and adjacent regions. They consider such aspects as sand suspension, wave propagation in shallow water, boundary layers and mixing, sediment transport predictors, remote sensing and video, wave-current interaction, longshore currents, beach profiles, rip currents, effects of coastal structures, beach nourishment, morphodynamic modelling, tidal inlets, wave-induced circulation, shingle and mixed grain size, breaking waves, megaripples and bars, nearshore circulation patterns, regional studies, long-term morphodynamics, swash and intertidal, groupiness and long waves, and seabed effects.

Download or read book A Study of Beach Ground water Hydrology and Chemistry written by and published by . This book was released on 1973 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The measurement of changing water levels across a tropical carbonate beach profile over three tidal cycles has provided basic data used to substantiate a predictive mathematical model of fluctuation in level of a beach water table. The model was developed from nonlinear partial differential equations governing transient, one-dimensional movement of ground water through porous media. A finite-difference algorithm for a digital computer was developed to solve the equations. Beach homogeneity and nonlinear boundary conditions imposed by tidal fluctuations were assumed in these calculations. A method for in situ determination of the permeability-porosity ratio is proposed and demonstrated for the beach studied. The mathematical model of the beach water table is used to develop an accurate method of calculating inflow and outflow at the beach-ocean interface. (Modified author abstract).

This book was released on 1968 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A literature survey on water-wave runup on sloping beaches is presented along with a comparison of theory and measurements from the 1965 Mono Lake test series. These measurements of runup were about twice as large as predicted because the incident wave height was also about twice as large as predicted. A simplified calculative technique is presented which predicts the measured runup within 10 percent from the wave data measured in deep water. (Author).
