Seawalls are sheltering structures used for protecting the coastal regions against wave induced forces. Because of random nature of the wave behavior, application of physical models for the study of wave-structure interaction can be quite efficient. In the present research, physical models of thin flexible walls were constructed and tested in a wave flume subject to generated random waves. The ...

Floating breakwaters are widely used due to their various advantages over stationary breakwaters. Lots of researches have been done on hydrodynamics and the type of bracing of these kinds of structures in recent years. In this study, numerical modeling of stresses caused by collision waves has been investigated. For this purpose, samples of floating breakwaters have been modeled in ANSYS softwa...

Ocean wave simulation has a wide range of applications in movies, video games and training systems. Wind force is the main energy resource for generating ocean waves, which are the result of the interaction between wind and the ocean surface. While numerous methods to handle simulating oceans and other fluid phenomena have undergone rapid development during the past years in the field of comput...

Rapidly oscillating Ap stars exhibit an astrophysically interesting combination of strong, dipolar-like magnetic fields and high-overtone p-mode pulsations similar to the Sun. Recent time-resolved spectroscopy of these stars unravelled a complex picture of propagating magneto-acoustic pulsation waves, with amplitude and phase strongly changing as a function of atmospheric height. To interpret t...

Scale height is an important parameter in characterizing the shape of the ionosphere and its physical processes. In this study, we attempt to examine and discuss the variation of scale height, H m , around the F-layer peak height during high solar activity at the northern crest of the equatorial ionization anomaly (EIA) region. H m exhibits day-to-day variation and seasonal variation, with a gr...

Carchuna beach, located on the southeast coast of Spain, has a series of natural permanent horns of timedependent horizontal dimensions, which do not appear to be periodically spaced, and do not propagate alongshore. Until at present, it has been assumed that the permanency of these forms is related to the existence of bed rocks; nevertheless, analysis of the configuration of the depth contours...

Research toward the development of point absorber ocean wave energy converters (WEC) is migrating from energy absorption of ocean wave heave only, to the absorption of heave and surge. Due to the additional dimension of surge, the mathematic relationship between the ocean waves and the WEC has shifted from a linear model to a nonlinear model. This change has made back driven wave height from de...

In the present investigation, we study the reflection of plane waves, that is, Longitudinal displacement wave(P-Wave), Thermal wave(T-Wave) and Mass Diffusive wave(MD-Wave) in thermodiffusion elastic-half medium which is subjected to impedence boundary condition in context of one relaxatioon time theory given by Lord and Shulman theory (L-S) and the Coupled theory (C-T) of thermoelasticity. The...
