Public ISBD Faire une suggestion d'achat Titre : Advances in coastal and ocean engineering : interaction of strong turbulence with free surfaces (volume 8) Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Liu, Philip, Auteur Editeur : World Scientific Année de publication : 2002 Importance : 223 p. Format : 23 cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-981-02-4952-6 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : 551 Géologie, météorologie, hydrologie générale Résumé : This book is a useful source of ideas and information for scientists whose work involves understanding and modeling turbulent flows with free surfaces. It has the following merits: It provides a framework for developing the analysis of this field, which, although important, has received only limited study; It recognizes the importance of the two phase natures of strongly disturbed free surface flows, in both natural and technological applications; It suggests possible lines of future research (especially experimental) to quantify the characteristics of flow regimes which are mainly known qualitatively at present.

Advances in coastal and ocean engineering (volume 6) / Liu, Philip

Public ISBD Faire une suggestion d'achat Titre : Advances in coastal and ocean engineering (volume 6) Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Liu, Philip, Auteur Editeur : World Scientific Année de publication : 2000 Importance : 223 p. Format : 23 cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-981-02-4136-0 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : 551 Géologie, météorologie, hydrologie générale Résumé : This volume consists of five interesting papers covering a wide range of topics in coastal engineering. To lead off the volume, Kiyoshi Horikawa presents a comprehensive review on the "history of coastal engineering in Japan". Horikawa has been a leading Japanese scholar in both coastal engineering research and education in the last half century. His article not only discusses the evolution and advancement of coastal engineering research in Japan, but also provides a chronological review of coastal development and coastal engineering activities in Japanese history. The second paper, entitled "Wavelet transform and new perspective on coastal and ocean engineering data analysis", is prepared by Paul Liu. Although wavelets and wavelet transforms have rapidly emerged as common subjects of research and applications in many scientific and engineering investigations, coastal and ocean engineers and scientists have not focused their attention on these powerful theories and tools for data analysis. In this introductory paper, Liu has given a brief and clear introduction of the basic concept of wavelets and wavelet transforms. Using the time series data for wind waves, Liu demonstrates that the time-frequency wavelet spectrum can reveal the intermittent nature of wave groupings, which is totally hidden in the conventional frequency spectrum. Many other applications are also discussed. Advances in coastal and ocean engineering (volume 6) [texte imprimé] / Liu, Philip, Auteur . - World Scientific, 2000 . - 223 p. ; 23 cm.

Advances in coastal and ocean engineering (volume 7) / Liu, Philip

Public ISBD Faire une suggestion d'achat Titre : Advances in coastal and ocean engineering (volume 7) Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Liu, Philip, Auteur Editeur : World Scientific Année de publication : 2001 Importance : 240 p. Format : 23 cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-981-02-4620-4 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : 551 Géologie, météorologie, hydrologie générale Résumé : This volume consists of five papers covering a wide range of topics in coastal oceanographic engineering. Drs. Maarten Dingemans and Ashwini Otta prepare the first paper on the subject of "Nonlinear Modulation of Water Waves". This comprehensive review article starts with several illustrative sections to guide readers to the nonlinear wave processes in deep and intermediate water. The nonlinear cubic schrodinger (NLS) equations are then presented and discussed for both deepwater and varying water depth with or without an ambient current. Discussions are extended to higher-order modulation equations, such as dysthe's equation and the Zakharov's equation. Derived from the Hamiltonian principle, the Zakharov's equation provides a broader basis for higher-order equations. Drs. Dingemans and Otta point out the importance of including the formulations of dissipation due to breaking in the modulation equations. Several experiments have suggested that the frequency downshift could be a rather sudden process associated with wave breaking. The second paper is entitled "bubble measurement techniques and bubble dynamics in coastal shallow water". Both authors, Drs. Ming-Yang Su and Joel Wesson, are experts in field measurements and instrumentations. In particular, they have been involved in studying bubble dynamics in deepwater waves and in coastal shallow water waves for more than fifteen years. In this paper, they first give a comprehensive review of various sensors for measuring physical parameters of the bubble field generated by wave breaking and the corresponding deployment methods for some of these sensors in the coastal water. These sensors are based on the optical, acoustical, and electromagnetic principles. Several field experiments are used to illustrate the functionality of these sensors. Based on their experience in the field experiments, Drs. Su and Wesson give an insightful account of dynamical and statistical features of wave breaking and bubble field in the near shore environment.
