Vertical ship motions in shallow water
… interest in the prediction of ship motions in shallow water, where the possibility of grounding becomes a problem. Theoretical equations governing the ship's motions have been formulated involving various hydrodynamic coefficients. In this thesis these coefficients have been found …

A prony algorithm for shallow water waveguide analysis
Low frequency acoustic propagation in shallow water is examined from a normal mode context. By modelling the far field pressure field as a modal sum, propagating mode characteristics of wavenumber, initial phase, attennation and amplitude may be estimated using a high resolution parameter modeling …

Localization of acoustic transients in shallow water environments
Determination of an underwater target's position using passive acoustic sensors is of considerable use for the Navy, both for Anti-submarine warfare (ASW) and underwater surveillance. This thesis proposes and develops localization algorithms capable of passively determining the location of a …

Shallow water equations in real-time computer graphics
… in our lives — from the air we breathe to the water we drink. Therefore, their simulation in interactive virtual worlds is not only of interest to the scientific community but the entertainment industry as well. In particular, the undertaken research looked at simulating water in real-time …

Shallow Water Wave Propagation in Open Channel Flow
… open channels can be treated as propagation of shallow water waves in channel flow. It can be mathematically approximated by the Saint-Venant equations or by simplified wave approximations, including the kinematic wave, noninertia wave, gravity wave and quasi-steady dynamic wave models. These …

Modulational instability in some shallow water wave models
… phenomenon of Stokes' periodic waves on the water surface. In this dissertation, we study this phenomenon for periodic traveling wave solutions of various shallow water wave models. We study the spectral stability or instability with respect to long wave length perturbations of small …

Wave effects on underwater vehicles in shallow water
Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV's) need to work in shallow water to complete oceanographic missions, coastal engineering surveys, and in military operations that involve reconnaissance and the location of mines along hostile coastlines. Control in the vertical plane is mandatory so the vehicle …

High-Fidelity Numerical Simulation of Shallow Water Waves
… in the case of far-field tsunamis, while the water depth varies from couple of kilometers, in deep ocean, to few centimeters, in the vicinity of shoreline. The large multi-scale computational domain leads to challenging and expensive numerical simulations. I present and compare the numerical …

Locomotor kinematics of turtles moving in shallow water environments
… has been studied in many environments like water, land or air, often focusing on one habitat alone. These studies were crucial in establishing the principles of animal locomotion, but don’t always reflect the intricate lifestyle of an animal. More often then not, animals will encounter …

Radial spreading of vertical buoyant jets in shallow water
Many wastewaters are discharged from single vertical outlets located at the bottom of shallow water bodies. Often these effluents are buoyant with respect to the receiving environment. In many jurisdictions, regulations require that a certain dilution is achieved within a specified mixing zone. In …

HlGH RESOLUTION PALAEOMAGNETIC ANALYSES OF CRETACEOUS SHALLOW WATER CARBONATES
… of continuous borehole cores of Lower Cretaceous shallow water carbonates from Southern Italy was obtained and studied lithologically and palaeomagnetically. It was found that the rocks are organized in cyclic lithofacies representing depositional environments from subtidal to supratidal and their …
