Non-Hydrostatic Modelling of Coastal Flooding in Port Environments

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
Understanding key flooding processes such as wave overtopping and overflow (i.e., water flows over a structure when the crest level of the structure is lower than the water level in front) is crucial for coastal management and coastal safety assessment ...

An 11-year validation of wave-surge modelling in the Irish Sea, using a nested POLCOMS-WAM modelling system [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
In the future it is believed that extreme coastal flooding events will increase (in frequency and intensity) as a result of climate change. We are investigating the flood risks in the eastern Irish Sea posed by extreme storm events.

Generation and Dissipation of Infragravity Waves Over Natural and Engineered Chenier Plain During Hurricane Laura

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Infragravity (IG) waves play a crucial role in nearshore hydrodynamics and sediment transport; however, their generation and dissipation mechanisms during extreme storms remain challenging to assess due to limited data availability, site‐specific characteristics of natural landscapes, and anthropogenic effects.

Coastal town flooding upon compound rainfall-wave overtopping-storm surge during extreme tropical cyclones in Hong Kong

open access: yesJournal of Hydrology: Regional Studies, 2021
Study region: Hong Kong, China. Study focus: This paper aims to develop a flood analysis model to integrate the effects of multiple flooding triggers (i.e.

The implementation of sinusoidal PWM on single phase 5-level cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
In the new millennium era of technology, modern industrial devices are mostly based on electronic devices that are very sensitive to harmonics. The needs for a free-harmonics and high rating power source is extremely increased in the past few years ...

Reshaping of San Jose Island, TX, USA, by Unconfined Washover and Channelized Washout During Hurricane Harvey

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Hurricane Harvey (2017) produced 31 net‐erosional washout channels on San Jose Island, Texas, USA, where offshore‐directed flows cut through two dune ridges and the beach. Channel growth was affected by natural, pre‐existing aeolian topography, rather than prior washover channels or infrastructure. We investigate how offshore directed outwash,

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

open access: yes, 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 ...

From Rainfall to Rumors: Interpreting the 2024 Bangladesh Floods Through Numbers, Narratives, and Information Gaps

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract When severe floods struck southeastern Bangladesh in August 2024, competing explanations emerged. Meteorological analysis revealed that extreme precipitation was exacerbated by the Madden‐Julian Oscillation and jet stream dynamics. However, alternative narratives proliferated on social media, particularly claims that India deliberately ...

Extending the Design Life of the Palm Jumeirah Revetment Considering Climate Change Effects

open access: yesHydrology, 2023
This paper presents potential upgrades to the Palm Jumeirah Island’s outer revetment to extend its design life for 50 years, considering the sea level rise (SLR) associated with climate change.

An analytical model for bore-driven run-up [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We use a hodograph transformation and a boundary integral method to derive a new analytical solution to the shallow-water equations describing bore-generated run-up on a plane beach.
