This book was released on 1989 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes the OPC spectral wave forecasting model for the Columbia River Bar, as well as the results of some numerical experiments, on both micro and main frame computers. The model, essentially, calculates the transformation of offshore wave spectra forecasted by the OPC global wave model due to the combined effects of bottom topography and tidal currents in the vicinity of the Columbia River entrance.

Download or read book Nonlinear Water Waves with Applications to Wave Current Interactions and Tsunamis written by Adrian Constantin and published by SIAM. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This overview of some of the main results and recent developments in nonlinear water waves presents fundamental aspects of the field and discusses several important topics of current research interest. It contains selected information about water-wave motion for which advanced mathematical study can be pursued, enabling readers to derive conclusions that explain observed phenomena to the greatest extent possible. The author discusses the underlying physical factors of such waves and explores the physical relevance of the mathematical results that are presented. The material is an expanded version of the author's lectures delivered at the NSF-CBMS Regional Research Conference in the Mathematical Sciences organized by the Mathematics Department of the University of Texas-Pan American in 2010.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mouth of the Columbia River (MCR) has a longstanding reputation of hazardous navigational conditions. This reputation has been developing since the first ship, the Columbia, traversed through the inlet in 1792. The hazardous conditions are related to the large waves and strong tidal currents that are common in the area. Tidal currents often reach 2 m/s. As large waves interact with strong tidal currents waves can steepen and break. This study investigates on the importance of wave-current interaction at the MCR. To model these conditions a two dimensional spectral model, SWAN (Simulating WAves Nearshore) (Booij, 1999), was used. SWAN simulations were completed neglecting as well as including current to make comparisons. Wave height and length were found to be influenced considerably by wave-current interaction. The SWAN simulations were also compared to both radar and insitu observations. Radar--estimated and SWAN--predicted wave direction and wave breaking were compared. SWAN-predicted wave direction and radar-observed wave direction compared well; however, poor agreement between observations and predictions occurred over a shoal in the region used to make comparisons. The source of this disagreement is unknown. Radar--observed wave breaking compared well with SWAN-predicted wave breaking in depth-limited cases; however, radar-observations indicate current induced wave breaking that SWAN does not predict. Insitu observations of wave direction and wave height both demonstrated good agreement with SWAN-predicted wave direction and wave height. Overall SWAN-predictions demonstrate good agreement with observations from both radar and insitu measurements.
