PROBABILITIES OF BREAKING WAVE CHARACTERISTICS

Application of Artificial Neural Network and Fuzzy Inference System in Prediction of Breaking Wave Characteristics

Wave height as well as water depth at the breaking point are two basic parameters which are necessary for studying coastal processes. In this study, the application of soft computing-based methods such as artificial neural network (ANN), fuzzy inference system (FIS), adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and semi-empirical models for prediction of these parameters are investigated. Th...

Experimental and Numerical Studies on Wave Breaking Characteristics over a Fringing Reef under Monochromatic Wave Conditions

Fringing reefs play an important role in protecting the coastal area by inducing wave breaking and wave energy dissipation. However, modeling of wave transformation and energy dissipation on this topography is still difficult due to the unique structure. In the present study, two-dimensional laboratory experiments were conducted to investigate the cross-shore variations of wave transformation, ...

Breaking Wave Velocity Estimation

Breaking the Wave of Enthusiasm?

The natural history of all substantial innovative medical procedures generally follows the same archetype. A new, potentially revolutionary treatment approach for a certain disease is introduced and initial first-in-men, feasibility, and safety studies are conducted by expert operators in highly specialized centers and selected patients. Given promising initial results, this triggers a wave of ...
