In the absence of long term wave data collected at a coastal site of interest, the calculation of wave statistics at a coastal site requires various data sets to be assembled, including temporally and spatially long term representative directional wave data offshore of the site, as well as bathymetric and coastline data. Further, a suitable wave model is required, which is capable of modelling ...

My long-term goal is to contribute, by means of an accurate hydrodynamics model, to efficient design, development and operation of autonomous underwater vehicles in energetic shallow waters. From a scientific viewpoint, the development of the AUV hydrodynamic model will contribute to a better understanding of wave-body-current interactions, nonlinear shallow-water waves, wave effects on stabili...

In this paper the propagation of harmonic plane waves in a homogeneous anisotropic magneto-piezothermoelastic diffusive body with fractional order derivative is studied. The governing equations for a homogeneous transversely isotropic body in the context of the theory of thermoelasticity with diffusion given by Sherief et al. [1] are considered as a special case. It is found that three types of...

Nowadays, spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) has become a powerful tool for providing significant wave height (SWH). Traditionally, validation of SAR derived SWH has been carried out against buoy measurements or model outputs, which only yield an inter-comparison, but not an “absolute” validation. In this study, the triple collocation error model has been introduced in the validation of ...

the aim of this research is to simulate oil spill behavior in the persian gulf due to the wind andtidal currents. this is achieved by coding an oil spill mathematical model consisting of several major submodels including hydrodynamic model, oil slick dynamic model and oil weathering model. the base of all of them is eulerian approach and they are coupled together to simulate spill incident in t...

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...

The momentum equation in the kinematic wave model is a power-law equation with two parameters. These parameters, which relate the discharge to the flow area, are commonly derived using Manning’s equation. In general, the values of these parameters depend on the flow depth except for some special cross sections. In this paper, improved estimates of the kinematic wave parameters for circular chan...

Waves and tidal currents resuspend transport shelf sediments, influencing sediment distributions bedform morphology with implications for various disciplines including benthic habitats, marine operations, spatial planning. Shelf-scale assessments of wave-tide-dominance sand tend not to fully include wave-tide interactions, which nonlinearly enhance bed shear stress apparent roughness, change th...
