Barrier island erosion and overwash study -- effect of seawalls. Volume 2 [PDF]

, 1992
This is the second of a pair of reports documenting the effects of storms on beach systems including the presence of seawalls. With the aim of simulating the effects of overwash on barrier islands with seawalls and characterizing their response, a ...

Chaotic behaviour of nonlinear waves and solitons of perturbed Korteweg - de Vries equation

, 2000
This paper considers properties of nonlinear waves and solitons of Korteweg-de Vries equation in the presence of external perturbation. For time-periodic hamiltonian perturbation the width of the stochastic layer is calculated.

Irregular Wave Transformation Affected by Opposing Currents

Coastal Engineering 1986, 1986
Transformation of irregular waves affected by opposing currents on a sloping sea bed was discussed, experimentally and theoretically. It was found that representative values of wave height, such as a significant wave height, are larger before breaking and the wave height decaying occurs more promptly in a surf zone as opposing currents become dominant,

Seismic analysis of irregular topography of hill and water-filled valley under oblique incident P- and SV-waves

Yantu gongcheng xuebao
As a common composite terrain, the effects of the irregular topography of hill and water-filled valley on the ground motion are currently unclear. Therefore, the coupling of soil and liquid in finite domain is realized through the theoretical analysis ...

Amplitude distribution of eigenfunctions in mixed systems

, 2001
We study the amplitude distribution of irregular eigenfunctions in systems with mixed classical phase space. For an appropriately restricted random wave model a theoretical prediction for the amplitude distribution is derived and good agreement with ...

On the long range propagation of sound over irregular terrain [PDF]

The theory of sound propagation over randomly irregular, nominally plane terrain of finite impedance is discussed. The analysis is an extension of the theory of coherent scatter originally proposed by Biot for an irregular rigid surface. It combines Biot'

Performance of a Multibody Point Absorber with a Damper Plate in Irregular Waves

International Marine Energy Journal
Wave energy converters (WECs) behave differently when operating in irregular waves than in regular waves. Although numerous studies have described WEC dynamics in regular waves, the ocean experiences irregular waves, making it essential to evaluate the ...

A Floating Platform with Embedded Wave Energy Harvesting Arrays in Regular and Irregular Seas

Energies, 2017
This paper presents a study on a cost-effective engineering model that integrates an array of floating wave energy converters with a vast platform, a viable option for multi-functional performance in renewable energy capture and ocean space utilization ...

Water waves scattering by floating rigid dock and breakwaters using improved singular boundary method under regular and irregular waves

Results in Engineering
This study explores the interaction between water waves and a pair of porous trapezoidal-shaped breakwaters of varying sizes kept at a finite distance apart from a floating rigid dock under regular and irregular waves.
