A Numerical Wave Model for the Refraction and Diffraction of Irregular Waves. Part II: Numerical Experiments of the Wave Model CREON

The numerical wave model CREON is developed to predict the propagation and transformation of wave properties in shallow water. In Gao et al. (1993), which is referred to as Part I in the following, a description is given of the theoretical and numerical treatment of the model. In the present report, we present various computational results. The...

Mean-Flow Measurements in the Boundary Layer and Wake of a Series 60 C_B = .6 Model Ship with and without Propeller

Results are presented from a towing-tank experiment of propeller-hull interaction conducted in order to provide detailed documentation of the complete flow field appropriate both for explicating the flow physics and validating computational methods. Mean-velocity and pressure field measurements were made for the with- and without-propeller...

Movable-Bed Laboratory Experiments Comparing Radiation Stress and Energy Flux Factor as Predictors of Longshore Transport Rate

Three-dimensional movable-bed laboratory tests were conducted to compare radiaton stress and energy flux factor as predictors of the longshore sediment transport rate. The tests were performed in the U.S. Army Coastal Engineering Research Center's (CERC) Shore Processes Test Basin (SPTB). This report presents derivations of the radiaton stress...

Turbulence measurements using a small electromagnetic current meter in open channel flows

The use of a small two-component electromagnetic current meter to record turbulent velocities in a laboratory flume is described. The results from these experiments are compared with results obtained previously using different measuring techniques.
