An Empirical Method for Estimating Surf Heights from Deep Water Significant Wave Heights and Peak Periods in Coastal Zones Wit
نویسنده
چکیده
Accurate and timely surf forecasts communicated in a clear, concise manner are essential in planning nearshore activities. In Hawaii, a large population of recreational enthusiasts comprised of both residents and visitors use surf forecasts on a daily basis. Forecasts are vital to commercial ventures, coastal engineers, ecosystem and geophysical researchers, and governmental coastal planners in making safe, strategic, and cost effective decisions.

متن کاملNumerical Study on Tsunami Hazard Mitigation Using a Submerged Breakwater
Most coastal structures have been built in surf zones to protect coastal areas. In general, the transformation of waves in the surf zone is quite complicated and numerous hazards to coastal communities may be associated with such phenomena. Therefore, the behavior of waves in the surf zone should be carefully analyzed and predicted. Furthermore, an accurate analysis of deformed waves around coa...
متن کاملA Vine-Copula Model for Time Series of Significant Wave Heights and Mean Zero-Crossing Periods in the North Sea
Stochastic description and simulation of oceanographic variables are essential for coastal and marine engineering applications. In the past decade, copula-based approaches have become increasingly popular to estimate the multivariate distribution of some variables at the peak of a storm along with its duration. The modeling of the storm shape, which contributes to its impact, is often simplifie...
متن کاملInvestigating the Amount of Forces Caused by Solitary Waves on Coastal Walls Using OpenFOAM Software
Coastal walls (dyke) are one of the methods of protecting the coast against coastal erosion and destructive forces of waves. The purpose of this study is to simulate the wave collision with the coastal dyke and compare the results with the laboratory model. Open FOAM open source software and K-ω SST turbulence model were used to simulate the amount of wave consumed by the coastal dyke. Taking i...
متن کاملNumerical modeling of tides, currents and waves off Maharashtra coast
A two-dimensional finite element numerical model has been developed to simulate tide and wave characteristics for Maharashtra coastal region, India. The region was divided into four zones based on water depth and the Chezy’s friction coefficient values for each zone were determined. It was noticed that as the water depth decreases the values of friction coefficient increases. Results are valida...
