This book was released on 1987 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A numerical model for calculating shoaling and refraction of finite-amplitude waves in shallow water is presented. The model is designed to employ second-order cnoidal wave theory, can be used also. A brief review of water-wave theory is given, followed by an outline of a second-order cnoidal wave theory derivation. A description is provided of the basic similarities and differences between cnoidal wave theory and the more commonly used small-amplitude wave theory. Methods for efficient calculation of cnoidal wave theory are derived. The model calculates water wave height and direction directly at numerical grid points, resulting in a greater ease in calculation over models using the ray tracing method. A derivation is given of an expression for the energy flux of second-order cnoidal waves which is used in calculating wave height. The irrotationality wave number equation, adapted for cnoidal wave theory, was used to calculate wave angle. Model results for shoaling and reflection over a plane bottom showed that second-order cnoidal waves shoaled more than small-amplitudes waves but less than first-order cnoidal waves and refracted less than small-amplitude waves but more than first-order cnoidal waves. Second-order cnoidal waves were found to match experimental shoaling data more accurately than either small-amplitude or first-order cnoidal waves.
Book Synopsis A Numerical Model for Shoaling and Refraction of Third-order Stokes Waves Over an Irregular Bottom by : Mary A. Cialone

This book was released on 1987 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This numerical model solves for water wave height, angle, and number directly on a rectangular grid. Required input are the deepwater wave height, period, and direction and the bathymetry in the region of interest. The model employs a finite difference scheme. The irrotationality equation of the wave number vector is solved for the wave angle, and the conservation of energy flux equation is solved for the wave height. Iteration is required. A closed form expresssion, to third-order, for the time-averaged, vertically integrated energy flux is derived. Stokes' second definition of wave celerity is used in the derivation to reduce the number of intermediate calculations. Expressions for the wave energy and the group velocity are also derived. The model is written such that both first-order (linear) and third-order stokes wave theory model computations may be conducted. The modeling process begins at higher intermediate depth, or deep water, and waves are propagated shoreward until an Urseell number of 25 or another, user-specified, value is reached. The model is applied for the following cases: (a) comparison of small amplitude and finite amplitude wave refraction and shoaling on a plane beach, (b) refraction and shoaling over an irregular bottom configuration, and (c) comparison of the model shoaling predictions to laboratory data of Iverson (1951).
Book Synopsis Water Wave Propagation Over Uneven Bottoms (In 2 Parts) by : Maarten W Dingemans
Download or read book Water Wave Propagation Over Uneven Bottoms (In 2 Parts) written by Maarten W Dingemans and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1997-01-07 with total page 1015 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary objective of this book is to provide a review of techniques available for the problems of wave propagation in regions with uneven beds as they are encountered in coastal areas. The view taken is that the techniques should be useful for application in advisory practice. However, effort is put into a precise definition of the underlying physical principles, so that the validity of the methods used can be evaluated. Both linear and nonlinear wave propagation techniques are discussed. Because of its length, the book comes in two parts: Part 1 covers primarily linear wave propagation, and Part 2 covers nonlinear wave propagation.
Book Synopsis Basic Coastal Engineering by : Robert M. Sorensen
Download or read book Basic Coastal Engineering written by Robert M. Sorensen and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-03-28 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second edition (1997) of this text was a completely rewritten version of the original text Basic Coastal Engineering published in 1978. This third edition makes several corrections, improvements and additions to the second edition. Basic Coastal Engineering is an introductory text on wave mechanics and coastal processes along with fundamentals that underline the practice of coastal engineering. This book was written for a senior or first postgraduate course in coastal engineering. It is also suitable for self study by anyone having a basic engineering or physical science background. The level of coverage does not require a math or fluid mechanics background beyond that presented in a typical undergraduate civil or mechanical engineering curriculum. The material p- sented in this text is based on the author’s lecture notes from a one-semester course at Virginia Polytechnic Institute, Texas A&M University, and George Washington University, and a senior elective course at Lehigh University. The text contains examples to demonstrate the various analysis techniques that are presented and each chapter (except the first and last) has a collection of problems for the reader to solve that further demonstrate and expand upon the text material. Chapter 1 briefly describes the coastal environment and introduces the re- tively new field of coastal engineering. Chapter 2 describes the two-dimensional characteristics of surface waves and presents the small-amplitude wave theory to support this description.

Book excerpt: Proceedings of the Coastal Hydrodynamics Conference, held in Newark, Delaware, June 28-July 1, 1987. Sponsored by the Waterway, Port, Coastal, and Ocean Division of ASCE. This collection contains 57 papers that review the state of the art in our understanding of the hydrodynamics of the nearshore zone. Papers cover topics such as shallow water wave statistics, nearshore currents, wave motions, and wave-structure interactions. Other papers report on field measurements of water waves, including both the short (or wind) waves and the long waves, which result in low frequency motions in the surf zone. Still others present theoretical models of the resulting nearshore circulation. This collection will be of interest to engineers working in coastal engineering and nearshore oceanography.
