Surface gravity wave interaction with a semi-infinite floating elastic plate in the presence of multiple undulations has been studied under assumption linearized water theory and small amplitude structural response. The is modeled using Euler-Bernoulli beam equation, whilst are categorized as an array submerged trenches or breakwaters. numerical solution obtained finite depth boundary element m...

Tsunami wave interaction with coastal regions is responsible for very important human and economic losses. In order to properly design coastal defenses against these natural catastrophes, new numerical models need to be developed that complement existing laboratory measurements and field data. The use of numerical models based on the Navier-Stokes equations appears as a reasonable approach due ...

The relationships between long-term (;115-year) phosphorus and sediment accumulation and submerged macrophyte biomass were determined both within a submerged macrophyte bed and among beds in Lake Memphremagog, Quebec, Canada. Strong relationships between present submerged macrophyte biomass and littoral-zone sediment and phosphorus accumulation rates both within and among macrophyte beds yielde...

In this study, ambient and forced vibration tests are proposed to evaluate dynamic characteristics of a caisson-type breakwater including natural frequencies and modal damping ratios, and the feasibility of numerical analysis model with fluid-structure-soil interaction effects, which plays an important role to evaluate structural performance and safety, is investigated by comparing the numerica...
