Book excerpt: The shoaling enhancement of small-amplitude, dispersive wave trains traveling over uniform, impermeable slopes was observed in a specially-constructed wave channel, where the reproducible wave elevation measurement accuracy was about .0005-in. These observations substantially support the enhancement predicted from linear theory (conservation of energy flux) except in very shallow water and on very steep slopes, where accelerative effects become important. On the hypothesis that small-amplitude runup theory might be similarly valid for periodic waves of finite height, provided that the positive incident wave amplitude is replaced by the local crest height above still water, this theory was modified to include the effect of the superelevation under a wave crest due to profile asymmetry. The modified theory is shown to agree acceptably with runup observations of larger waves previously reported-both for breaking and non-breaking waves. Because solutions to the modified theory cannot conveniently be obtained by manual calculation, a nomograph chart is included, from which runup predictions can be easily made, given only the wave height, period, and water depth a wave-length or so from shore, and the beach slope. Use of this nomograph for non-uniform slopes, oblique incidence, and non-periodic waves is also discussed. (Author).

Download or read book Hydronautics written by Herman Sheets and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hydronautics focuses on the major scientific and engineering disciplines related to ocean technology. This book provides information pertinent to the development of offshore oil production. Organized into seven chapters, this book starts with an overview of the basic description of the primary ocean resources, and then proceeds with a discussion of the ocean environment, which is the major field of the various branches of oceanology. This text then explores the technical detail on marine vehicle systems, including the state-of the-art on ships, platforms, submersibles. Other chapters discuss the ocean dynamics, including waves, current, and coastal waters. This book explores as well the discipline of navigation, underwater navigation, and the general characteristics of navigation systems. The final chapter deals with policy planning, with emphasis on the basic principles needed for policy decisions and the role of government in this field. This book is a valuable resource for marine scientists and marine engineers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive study of the wave run-up phenomena on single and composite slopes was conducted in order to determine the effects of slope roughness on regular and irregular wave run-up on composite sections, to determine the effects of slope roughness on the velocity distribution in the uprush zone, to investigate the energy loss in the uprush zone due to turbulence and bottom dissipation and to compare regular and irregular wave run-up on roughened slopes with wave run-up on smooth slopes.
