Kim, Inchul (2022-04-11)A new nonlinear second-order frequency-domain model based on the mild-slope equation is outlined. The model is an enhancement over previous work in that a closer correspondence between scaling of nonlinearity and horizontal ...
-
Pae, Woongsuk (2016-05-20)Many coastal areas worldwide have suffered from coastal erosion which has likely been made worse due to rising sea water levels, climate changes, and various manmade reasons. For several years, Wolcheon Beach, in the eastern ...

Lee, Wonhyun (2018-08-02)A three-dimensional hydrodynamic model has been developed to investigate thermohaline processes, ocean circulation driven by winds, and other hydrodynamic features in the Arabian/Persian Gulf area. The validated model can ...
-
Jiang, Boyang (2012-02-14)As the forecasting models become more sophisticated in their physics and possible depictions of the nearshore hydrodynamics, they also become increasingly sensitive to errors in the inputs. These input errors include: ...
-
Tahvildari, Navid (2012-02-14)The nonlinear interactions between long surface waves and interfacial waves in a two-layer fluid are studied theoretically. The fluid is density-stratified and the thicknesses of the top and bottom layers are both assumed ...
-
Jimenez Martinez, Arturo (2012-10-19)A numerical study aimed at probabilistically assessing the coastal hazard posed by tsunamis induced by one-dimensional submarine rigid landslides that experience translational failure is presented. The numerical model here ...
-
Lu, Chi (2016-12-06)The sediment flux from the Yangtze River into the estuary area decreased during the past three decades and the operation of the world’s largest hydropower project, Three Gorges Dam (TGD), made this situation much more ...
-
Izadparast, Amir Hossein (2012-02-14)In this study, the semi-empirical approach is introduced to accurately estimate the probability distribution of complex non-linear random variables in the field of wavestructure interaction. The structural form of the ...
-
Time Dependent Reliability Assessment of Seawalls Subjected to Stochastic Waves and Sea Level Rise Jonnalagadda, Vishnu Priya (2020-07-21)Sea walls play a major role in protecting the coastal regions from the raging waves and floods that can commonly occur due to storms and hurricanes. The rising sea levels and the increased number of storm events demand to ...
-
Li, Yuan (2023-06-28)The atmospheric turbulence characteristics in the Persian Gulf are of great interest due to the strategic geographical location of the Gulf as a waterway of major oil transportation and its in-creasing regional economic ...
-
Manian, Dinesh (2010-07-14)The first part of this thesis deals with studying the effect of the specified bathymetric resolution and ideal bathymetric form parameters on the output from the wave and hydrodynamic modules of Delft-3D. This thesis then ...

Singhal, Gaurav (2012-10-19)Real-time wave forecasts are critical to a variety of coastal and offshore opera- tions. NOAA’s global wave forecasts, at present, do not extend into many coastal regions of interest. Even after more than two decades of ...
