Groen, P. (author)
The behaviour of internal waves in vertically inhomogeneous fluids has been studied theoretically by various authors, from the point of view of general hydrodynamics as well as of meteorology and of physical oceanography (see the list of references, which, however, is not meant to be complete). For mathematical reasons most of them assumed...

This report was prepared originally as a series of lectures given at the International Summer Course on "Some Aspects of Shallow Water Oceanology" held at Lunteren, the Netherlands, The subject of this phase of the lectures, "Generation of Waves by Wind, " included both deep and shallow water conditions. The decay of swell in both deep and...

The engineer required to calculate theoretical wave characteristics such as wave profiles and wave forces and moments on piling, is confronted with a problem which includes (1) selecting one of a number of available theories and (2) calculating the required information which, for some of the theories, is a relatively complicated procedure. This...

Momentum flux considerations are used to formulate a differential equation governing the growth, with distance, of the mean longshore current velocity in the surf-zone on a plane, impermeable beach due to monochromatic waves. The equation is solved for the flow situation downstream of a surf-zone barrier and is shown to compare favorably with...

Le Méhauté, B. (author)
It is common engineering practice in a hydraulic model study involving both gravity waves and a solid structure to measure the hydrodynamic forces on the model of the structure and then calculate the resulting internal structural stresses. Because of the large variety of available elastic material, and the latest development in solid state...

Over the past two or three years, Texas A &: M University has been operating facilities offshore of Panama City, Florida, to observe and collect environmental oceanographic data in the Gulf of Mexico. Waves are measured using Hytech resistance type wave staffs. The data is recorded more or less continuously in digital form on magnetic tape. The...

The classical problem of describing the characteristics of deep water waves of finite amplitude is considered. The method of analysis initially follows that of Nekrasov, but differs in that a non-linear algebraic equation is derived. This equation is solved to the third, fifth and fifteenth order by means of a digital computer and the data is...

The suspension of sediment particles by turbulent eddy diffusion in a non- uniform flow region was studied, using the convective-diffusion equation as a mathematical model. A simplified form of the equation for which mixing characteristics and flow velocities 'vere assumed uniform was found to accurately describe the sediment concentration...

There is some evidence that the heights and the periods squared of wind waves each are Rayleigh- distributed. If this is the case, it may be surmised that their joint distribution is also of the Rayleigh type. The bivariate Rayleigh distribution, which is known in the field of statistical communications theory, may thus be applicable to wind...

Coastal encineering problems concerning wind waves and~ell can be solved with the aid of hydraulic or mathematical models, The irregular wave field i.e. the state of the sea surface can be described in a sufficient way for engineering problems either by parameters such as significant wave height and mean wave period, or in the form of power...

This report presents a theory for ocean wave transmission past breakwaters by overtopping, based on an evaluation of the energy content of the overtopping water. While several coefficients are subject to further investigation, the data shows that the general form of the equations developed is correct. Comparison with large-scale model tests...

"Wave spectra were measured along a profile extending 160 kilometers into the North Sea westward from Sylt for a period often weeks in 1968 and 1969. During the main experiment in July 1969, thirteen wave stations were in operation, of which six stations continued measurements into the first two weeks of August. A smaller pilot experiment was...

Summary of the graduation work published at the ICCE: In the present investigation the influence of bottom slope on mass transport by progressive waves was investigated, both theoretically and experimentally. Theoretical considerations based on linear wave theory show the greatest influence of the slope on the bottom drift velocities for...
