Generation of Very Long Waves in Laboratory for Tsunamis Research
… of tsunamis which point out that use of solitary waves as model tsunami is not theoretically justified. In order to generate very long waves in laboratory, a bottom-tilting wave maker is designed and used at the University of Dundee. This new type of wave maker can produce waves longer than the …

Wave Induced Vertical Pore Pressure Gradients at Sandy Beaches
… where the addition of infiltration-exfiltration, wave run-up and run-down, bore collapse, cyclic emergence and submergence of sediments, interactions between standing waves and incident bores, and other processes must be considered. Among these many processes, pore pressure gradients within sandy …

Non-Hydrostatic Models For Wave Propagation, Breaking, And Run-Up
… develops a series of non-hydrostatic pressure wave models based on the finite element free surface flow model, CCHE2D, for simulating propagation, breaking, and run-up of coastal wave processes. The first non-hydrostatic formulation presented in this dissertation directly introduces a …

Waves Generated by Moving Vessels and Cnoidal Wave Interactions with Either a Partially-submerged Porous Barrier or a Mixed Partially-submerged and Submerged Dual Porous-Barrier System
… for estimating moving vessel generated maximum wave heights at Sabine–Neches Waterway in Texas. Using the recorded wave and vessels’ sailing data, the empirical approach with the calibration and validation procedures is carried out to confirm those models’ applicability. The performance of each …

Numerical Modelling of Breaking Waves under the Influence of Wind
Wave breaking plays an important role in air-sea interaction, surf zone dynamics, nearshore sediment transport, marine hydrodynamics, and wave-structure interaction. When the wind is blowing over water waves, it not only enhances the exchanges of heat, mass and momentum on the air-water interface, …

MPM study of water wave interaction with porous seawalls
… from rising sea levels and storm surge waves. Waves attenuate rapidly as they propagate through porous media, corresponding to significant energy dissipation. The ability of porous armour layers to absorb wave energy is therefore of great interest to hydraulic engineers, as more and more …
