Journal ArticleDOI
Refraction-diffraction of irregular waves over a mound
TL;DR: In this paper, the transformation of monochromatic and directionally-spread irregular waves passing over a submerged elliptical mound was studied in a controlled laboratory experiment, where a directional spectral wave generation was used to generate waves with equal peak frequencies and spectral energy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wave Diffraction around Breakwater
TL;DR: In this article, a three-dimensional physical model study of wave diffraction around a semi-infinite breakwater was conducted using a directional spectral wave generator, where both regular and irregular waves with narrow and broad frequency and directional spreading were simulated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Significant Wave Height for Shallow Water Design
TL;DR: In this article, a simple empirical method is developed to relate statistical and energy based significant wave height estimates with CERC laboratory flume data from a 1:30 plane slope, two samples of field data, and stream function wave theory.
Estimation of winds over the Great Lakes
TL;DR: In this paper, a combined theoretical-empirical approach was used to estimate wind speeds over a large lake using the transformed wind speeds at nearby land stations. But the results were limited to a wide range of synoptic conditions with an error of 5 knots.
Journal ArticleDOI
Shoaling and Decay of Two Wave Trains on Beach
TL;DR: In this paper, the relative energy in each wave train, the closeness of the frequency peaks, and the total wave energy were varied over 12 cases in a wave flume.
