Venkattaramanan, Aravinda (2014-04-28)The attenuation of wave energy by submerged or near-emergent coastal vegetation is one of the prominent methods of energy dissipation in areas with significant presence of wetlands. In this thesis, the nature of this ...
-
Tankala, Chandan (2012-10-19)The formation of aeolian ripples has been modeled, quite successfully, using discrete approaches like cellular automaton models. Numerical analysis of continuum models to obtain similar success in modeling ripple evolution, ...
-
Ye, Maokun (2018-07-12)A fully three-dimensional numerical approach for analyzing deepwater drilling riser-conductor system vortex-induced vibrations (VIV) including soil-structure interactions (SSI) is presented. The drilling riser-conductor ...
-
Cheng, Chih-Shen (2023-03-23)Climate disasters have severely impacted our built environment, infrastructure, and way of life, causing significant economic and fatal losses. In the immediate aftermath of a disaster, preliminary damage assessment (PDA) ...
-
Udoh, Ikpoto 1980- (2012-11-30)To adequately evaluate risk associated hurricane flooding, numerous surge events must be considered, and the cost associated with high resolution numerical modeling for several storms is excessive. The Joint Probability ...
-
Gupta, Anupam (2009-05-15)An exponential growth in the offshore industry has resulted in a corresponding increase in demand for quick, accurate, and implementable designs. With the increase in size of the structure relative to the wave amplitude, ...
-
Dunkin, Lauren M. (2011-08-08)Beaches and barrier islands are vulnerable to extreme storm events, such as hurricanes, that can cause severe erosion and overwash to the system. Having dunes and a wide beach in front of coastal infrastructure can provide ...
-
Almarshed, Badreyah FA N S (2019-04-03)Considering the accelerating sea level rise, population growth, and coastal developments, the risks associated with extreme storms are expected to increase. To meet this dilemma, hybrid coastal approaches are being employed ...
-
Kim, Jin Young (2021-01-22)Wave energy has been identified as a major cause of wetland edge erosion in general. This dissertation focuses on the numerical modeling of wind-wave and sediment transport affecting erosion and accretion of salt marsh edges ...
