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 Dynamics of the Coastal Zone by : Matteo Postacchini
Download or read book Dynamics of the Coastal Zone written by Matteo Postacchini and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2020-03-19 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The coastal zone is the host to many human activities, which have significantly increased in the last decades. However, sea level rise and more frequent storm events severely affect beaches and coastal structures, with negative consequences and dramatic impacts on coastal communities. These aspects add to typical coastal problems, like flooding and beach erosion, which already leading to large economic losses and human fatalities. Modeling is thus fundamental for an exhaustive understanding of the nearshore region in the present and future environment. Innovative tools and technologies may help to better understand coastal processes in terms of hydrodynamics, sediment transport, bed morphology, and their interaction with coastal structures. This book collects several contributions focusing on nearshore dynamics, and span among several time and spatial scales using both physical and numerical approaches. The aim is to describe the most recent advances in coastal dynamics.

Download or read book Introduction to Nearshore Hydrodynamics written by Ib A. Svendsen and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2006 with total page 748 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is intended as an introductory textbook for graduate students and as a reference book for engineers and scientists working in the field of coastal engineering. As such it gives a description of the theories for wave and nearshore hydrodynamics. It is meant to de-mystify the topics and hence starts at a fairly basic level. It requires knowledge of fluid mechanics equivalent to a first year graduate level. At the end of each topic, an attempt is made to give an overview of the present stage of the scientific development in that area with numerous references for further studies.

Book Synopsis Sediment Transport in the Coastal Environment by : Ole Secher Madsen
Download or read book Sediment Transport in the Coastal Environment written by Ole Secher Madsen and published by . This book was released on 1976 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subject of sediment transport in the coastal zone is investigated and the answers to some of the basic questions of sediment transport in unsteady, oscillatory flow are presented. By adopting Jonsson's (1966) results for the bottom shear stress associated with a simple wave motion, it is shown that Shield's criterion for the initiation of sediment movement on a flat bed holds in unsteady as well as steady flow. A simplified analysis as well as experimental data show the side effects associated with the experimental procedure in which a tray containing sediment is oscillated in still water is generally insignificant and is, therefore, a valid procedure for studying certain aspects of wave sediment interaction. Also, Shields Parameter is identified as the physically important parameter quantifying the fluid sediment interaction. An empirical relationship between a non-dimensional average sediment transport rate and Shields Parameter is found by reanalyzing the experimental data on the rate of sediment transport in oscillatory flow obtained by Einstein and co-workers at Berkeley. This relationship is similar to the Einstein-Brown sediment transport relationship in unidirectional, steady flow. By generalizing Jonsson's expression for the bottom shear stress associated with a sinusoidal wave motion, it is shown that the empirical sediment transport relationship may be derived from a quasi steady application of the Einstein-Brown sediment transport relationship. Also, it is demonstrated that the empirical relationship obtained using a friction factor based on grain roughness is capable of predicting sediment transport rates observed in experiments where bed forms were present. The general application of the derived sediment transport relationship for predicting net rates of sediment transport in the presence of second order effects such as bottom slope, wave asymmetry, mass transport currents and coastal currents is discussed. This discussion serves also to identify needed areas for future research. It is concluded that only the case of a small amplitude wave and a steady current seems to be understood to the extent that it is reasonable to evaluate the resulting sediment transport with any degree of confidence. Fortunately, this is a rather important situation in most offshore regions. A general numerical model is developed for the sediment transport and topographical changes resulting from spatially varying wave and current conditions. A simple numerical example of the evaluation of the topographical changes in the vicinity of the tip of a long straight breakwater is presented for periodic waves normally incident on the breakwater and a current parallel to the breakwater. This numerical example is chosen to resemble rather severe conditions for the Atlantic Generating Station (AGS) site with a maximum orbital wave velocity of 3.2 ft/sec (1 m/sec) and a current velocity 0.5 ft/sec (.15 m/sec). The results are.presented in a topographical relief map showing areas of scour and accretion of the order 0.78 inches/day (2 cm/day) at a maximum. Although the results of the example are somewhat more qualitative than-quantitative, it is felt that they provide a representative picture of the expected bottom changes in the vicinity of the AGS.

Book Synopsis Theoretical Geophysical Fluid Dynamics by : Monin
Download or read book Theoretical Geophysical Fluid Dynamics written by Monin and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book grew out of lectures on geophysical fluid dynamics delivered over many years at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology by the author (and, with regard to some parts of the book, by his colleagues). During these lectures the students were advised to read many books, and sometimes individual articles, in order to acquaint themselves with the necessary material, since there was no single book available which provided a sufficiently complete and systematic account (except, perhaps, the volumes on Hydrophysics of the Ocean, Hydrodynamics of the Ocean, and Geodynamics in the ten-volume Oceanology series published by Nauka Press in 1978-1979; these refer, however, specifically to the ocean, and anyway they are much too massive to be convenient for study by students). As far as we know, no text corresponding to our understanding of geophysical fluid dynamics has as yet been published outside the Soviet Union. The present book is designed to fill this gap. Since it is customary to write the preface after the entire book has been completed, the author has an opportunity there to raise some points of possible criticism by the reviewers and readers. First of all, note that this work presents the theoretical fundamentals of geophysical fluid dynamics, and that observational and experimental data (which in the natural sciences are always very copious) are referred to only rarely and briefly.
Book Synopsis Breaking Waves by : Michael L. Banner
Download or read book Breaking Waves written by Michael L. Banner and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wave breaking is a commonly occurring phenomena associated with wave motion in fluids, often inducing significant effects which are of fundamental and technological importance, A familiar illustration is provided with white-capping and microbreaking of the wind-driven ocean sUrface waves, which is believed to play an important part in the transfers of momentum, mass and heat across the air-sea interface, as well as in the production of underwater ambient noise and augmented microwave backscatter. The enhanced hydrodynamic forces associated with the breaking of the more energetic ocean wave components constitute a significant challenge in ocean engineering, coastal engineering and naval architecture. Other less conspicuous but equally important manifestations are the breaking of internal waves and the fila mentation of vorticity interfaces. Despite recent theoretical and observational progress towards a more complete understanding of wave breaking, mathematical descriptions of its onset and consequences are presently lacking. The aim of this Symposium was to bring together theoretical and observational expertise, with the goal of determining the current state of knowledge of wave breaking and providing a stimulus to future research. The Symposium focused on water waves of all scales from capillary waves to ocean swell, but also considered internal waves and the filamentation of vorticity interfaces. Specific topics included were: Fundamental theoretical studies; wave instabilities; routes to breaking. Models of wave breaking. Field observations, including statistical information. Laboratory studies. Shoaling waves, breaking waves on currents, breaking induced by the motion of a ship.
