Murphy, W.M. (author), Geelan, C.W. (author)The purpose of this paper is to present the hydraulic problems relating to the computation of hurricane surge, hurricane waves, runup of the waves for providing hurricane flood protection at Texas City, Texas, as well as the effects of rainfall upon the protected area during periods of normal and high tides. The problems of providing protection...report 1965

Childs, E.F. (author)Construction of two hurricane barriers to protect the coastal communities of New Bedford and Fairhaven, Massachusetts and Providence, Rhode Island is nearly complete. The projects include navigation gates, pumping stations, street closures, cooling water canal, and numerous utility gates. Operation of these various features introduces many...report 1965

Leadon, M.E. (author)In terms of both coastal erosion and structural damage Hurricane Opal may prove to have been the most destructive storm ever to impact the coastal zone of Florida. Structural damage, as well as, beach and dune erosion occurred throughout all of the Panhandle from Escambia to Franklin counties. Damage extended to a lesser degree into lower Gulf...report 1995

Nijsen, R. (author)Het eiland Bonaire, onderdeel van de benedenwindse eilanden van de Nederlandse Antillen, Hgt op de rand van de Caribbische hurricanegordel. Het risico bestaat dan ook dat het eiland getroffen wordt door een hurricane. Aangezien de westkust van het eiland weinig hoger dan het waterniveau ligt, is er in zo'n geval weinig bescherming tegen de...master thesis 1999

Van Vilsteren, W.L. (author)Fort Bay harbour is a small harbour, located at the South of the island of Saba. This island is part of the Netherlands Antilles and it is situated in the Caribbean Sea where hurricanes may occur several times a year. Since its construction in 1972, Fort Bay harbour has experienced several hurricanes. Unfortunately some of these hurricanes were...master thesis 2001

Baart, S.A. (author), Van Kruchten, Y.J.G. (author), McCall, R.T. (author), Van Nieuwkoop, J.C.C. (author)Master project report. Havana is protected from the sea’s severity by a seawall which is called the Malecón. The study area of this report is section 4 of the Malecón which more or less matches the coast of the district ‘Centro Habana’. Since the construction of the Malecón the hinterland has frequently been flooded due to storms and hurricanes...student report 2006

McCall, R.T. (author)The primary objective of this thesis is to generate a 2DH-numerical model to simulate dune overwash. The first stage in this is achieved by modifying the program code of an existing overwash model in development, XBeach, to enable 2DH calculations. In the second stage the hydrodynamics of the model are verified using theoretical and laboratory...master thesis 2008

Vugt, E.A. (author)On the morning of August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans. A storm of Katrinas strength and intensity is expected to cause major flooding but the main portion of the destruction was caused by its exposure to failures at almost all levels of responsibility. In Katrinas wake, a Grand Plan for Louisiana is introduced by the Louisiana...master thesis 2008

Pruis, K.W. (author)The barrier islands in the Gulf of Mexico are regularly exposed to hurricanes, one of the main functions of the islands is to protect the mainland. Due to climate change the frequency and intensity of hurricanes is expected to change, which may affect the long term evolution of the islands. In this study these long term (decadal) morphological...master thesis 2011

Van Ledden, M. (author), Lansen, A.J. (author), De Ridder, H.A.J. (author), Edge, B. (author)This paper reports a reconnaissance level study of a storm surge barrier in the Mississippi River. Historical hurricanes have shown storm surge of several meters along the Mississippi River levees up to and upstream of New Orleans. Future changes due to sea level rise and subsidence will further increase the risk of flooding due to hurricane...conference paper 2012

Holthuijsen, L.H. (author), Powell, M.D. (author), Pietrzak, J.D. (author)Waves breaking at the ocean surface are important to the dynamical, chemical and biological processes at the air-sea interface. The traditional view is that the white capping and aero-dynamical surface roughness increase with wind speed up to a limiting value. This view is fundamental to hurricane forecasting and climate research but it has...journal article 2012

Nguyen, B.M. (author), Van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author)This paper presents a new approach of applying numerical methods to model storm processes. A storm empirical track technique is utilized to simulate the full tracks of hurricanes, starting with their initial points over the sea and ending with their landfall locations or final dissipations. The theoretical framework was first described in the...conference paper 2012

Its large wind field in conjunction with the Louisiana-Texas coastline's broad shelf and large scale concave geometry generated waves and surge that impacted over 1000 km of coastline. Ike's complex and varied wave and surge response physics included: the...journal article 2013
