Sediment Dynamics and Wave-current Interactions
Described here is a model for the long-time formation and evolution of erodible beds under the action of waves and currents. It is an extention of a model rst developed by Craik and Leibovich, which describes the dynamics of Langmuir circulation cells, later adapted by McWilliams and Restrepo to model the interaction of a gravity wave eld with global oceanic ows.
متن کاملObservations of gravel beach dynamics during high energy wave conditions using a laser scanner
A 2D laser-scanner was deployed at the high tide runup limit of a pure gravel beach (Loe Bar, Cornwall, England) to measure high-frequency (2.5 Hz) swash hydrodynamics and topographic changes during an energetic wave event. Measurements performed with the laser-scanner were corrected to compensate for levelling and orientation errors, and a variance threshold was applied to separate the beach t...
متن کاملDevelopment of a mathematical model to design an offshore wind and wave hybrid energy system
Fossil Fuels are always considered as environmental pollutants. On the other hand, the political and economic situations highly affect the price of these fuels. Offshore wind and wave, as renewable energy sources, represent the better alternatives for electricity generation. Therefore, it is necessary that wind speeds effectively be estimated due to the absence of field measurements of the wind...
متن کاملWave farm impact on beach modal state
The extraction of wave energy by the Wave Energy Converters (WECs) forming a wave farm results in a milder wave climate in its lee, which can have an impact on coastal processes. The objective of this work is to determine whether the beach morphology can be altered by the operation of the wave farm, and if so, to quantify this alteration. For this purpose, we examine how the farm affects the mo...
متن کاملHigh Levels of Sediment Contamination Have Little Influence on Estuarine Beach Fish Communities
While contaminants are predicted to have measurable impacts on fish assemblages, studies have rarely assessed this potential in the context of natural variability in physico-chemical conditions within and between estuaries. We investigated links between the distribution of sediment contamination (metals and PAHs), physico-chemical variables (pH, salinity, temperature, turbidity) and beach fish ...
