Water waves over a muddy seabed
… a thin layer of viscoelastic mud and sinusoidal waves propagating on top of a water layer of intermediate depth. In contrast with the previous studies the analysis is done for decaying water waves and a rheological model with frequency independent coefficients. The leading order motion and the …

On Steady Water Waves and Their Properties
… four papers related to various aspects of steady water waves. Paper I: Deep-water waves with vorticity: symmetry and rotational behaviour. We show that for steady, periodic, and rotational gravity deep-water waves, a monotone surface profile between troughs and crests implies symmetry. It is …

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 …

Sand bed morphodynamics under water waves and vegetated conditions
… ripple velocities under partially progressive waves are related to the local near-bed Lagrangian mass transport velocities within the bottom boundary layer. Additional laboratory experiments with near-deeply submerged vegetated canopies (current work has a ratio of mean still water depth to …

Linear and nonlinear resonance of water waves near periodic structures
… array of periodically spaced cylinders trapped waves of certain eigen-frequencies can exist. If there are only a finite number of cylinders in an infinite sea, trapping is imperfect. Simple harmonic incident waves can excite a nearly trapped wave at one of the eigen-frequencies through a linear …

Experimental Analysis of the Interaction of Water Waves With Flexible Structures
… experimental investigation of the interaction of water waves with flexible structures acting as breakwaters was carried out. Wave profiles, mapped out by water level measuring transducers, were studied to provide information on the performance of different breakwater models. A new signal analysis …

A Spatial Dynamic Approach to Three-Dimensional Gravity-Capillary Water Waves
Three-dimensional gravity-capillary steady waves on water of finite-depth, which are uniformly translating in a horizontal propagation direction and periodic in a transverse direction, are considered. The exact Euler equations are formulated as a spatial dynamic system in which the variable used …

Numerical modeling of submarine landslides and surface water waves which they generate
Underwater landslides are a common source of tsunamis in coastal areas. In this thesis, three numerical models are developed to simulate the coupling of submarine landslides and the surface waves which they generate. Three different rheologies of the submarine sediments are considered: a viscous …
