... Abstract By Physical experiment, the harbors wave height distribution and the wave overtopping of different wharf structural form were studied. With the example of one wharf extension project, the wave heights in harbors and the wave overtopping in different wharf surface elevation were...

... in the past. Following the shape distribution function of artificial headland derived by Wind (1994), the proposed model of dynamic shoreline is developed to calculate the shoreline change. The wave height distribution function, applied in the calculated model, is calculated by a wave model (mildslope...

... investigated according to the wave height distribution around and over the submerged breakwater for various dimensionless detached length Y/Li and opening rate W/Lr (gap distance rate between breakwaters) as shown in Table 1.

... environments. In the other hand, there is the need to properly assess the wave height distribution around the floater using available tools and weather information for the specific site. The proposed paper presents the details and the necessary requirement for performing such analysis. A tentative methodology...

... ABSTRACT This study investigates experimentally the wave-current interaction and its mechanism. Hydraulic model experiments were carried out in the open channel installed in a three dimensional wave basin to measure the wave height distributions and velocity fields in the channel...

... is. The non-linearity effects have no consequences on the crest-totrough height distribution (Longuet-Higgins, 1980; Boccotti, 1982; Forristall, 1984). On the contrary they modify both the crest and the trough distributions in a sea state: the Rayleigh law, which is exact to the firstorder in a Stokes...

... governing physical quantities. The calculated wave height distribution is confirmed in good agreement with experimental results. Flow passing through the permeable structure is also confirmed in both experiments and computations. Moreover, it is found that the flow near the corner can play an important role...

... ABSTRACT The wave height distribution with Edgeworth's form of a cumulative expansion of probability density function(PDF) of surface elevation are investigated. The non-Gaussian model of wave height distribution shows a good agreement with experimental data. It is discussed that the fourth...
