Excitation of Acoustic Surface Waves by Turbulence
… have been shown to support acoustic surface waves when excited by a broadband signal in a quiescent environment and these waves could be manipulated by varying the geometry of the structure making up the metamaterial. The study presented here demonstrates the generation of trapped …

Triad Interactions among Surface Waves Propagating through an Ice Sheet
… wave-wave interactions which occur when ocean waves propagate into a thin floating ice sheet. Using multiple-scale perturbation analysis verified against regular perturbation for short distances past the ice edge, we obtain theoretical predictions of the wave amplitude evolution as a function …

Generation of sand ripples and sand bars by surface waves
Part I Generation of Sand Ripples by Surface Waves In Chapter 1, we study the sand ripple instability under partially standing surface waves in constant water depth. For gently sloped ripples, the approximate flow field is· worked out. By invoking an empirical formula of sediment transport rate, an …

Efficient Tunnel Detection with Waveform Inversion of Back-scattered Surface Waves
An efficient subsurface imaging method employing back-scattered surface waves is developed to detect near-surface underground elastic-wave velocity anomalies, such as tunnels, sinkholes, fractures, faults, and abandoned manmade infrastructures. The back-scattered surface waves are generated by …

Analyses and Applications of Seismic Surface Waves Using Machine Learning Algorithm
Surface waves are energetic signal components in the seismic inversion for near-surface elastic properties. However, they are noise components in reflection seismology in hydrocarbon exploration. Detecting and outlining the region of surface waves in seismic gathers facilitates either their …
