Shoreline dynamics of the Lakshadweep Islands
(NISCAIR, New Delhi, 1993)
Lakshadweep group of islands are mainly coral atolls. Fringing reefs protect these small islands from the attack of waves. This paper describes the waves and currents acting on Kalpeni, Kavaratti, Minicoy, Agatti, Kadamat ...
Field measurement on longshore current variation between Ratnagiri and Mangalore, west coast of India
(CWPRS, Pune, 1992)
The daily measurements on longshore current velocity and direction were carried out at selected 12 stations along the coast between Ratnagiri and Mangalore, India. The directional wave data measured at Karwar were used to ...
Existence and location of Dvaraka city of Mahabharata era and its subsequent submergence - A reality or myth ?
(Aditya Prakashan, New Delhi, 1992)
Response of surface buoy moorings in steady and wave flows
(Oxford and IBH, New Delhi, 1992)
A numerical model has been developed to evaluate the dynamics of surface buoy mooring systems under wave and current loading. System tension response and variation of tension in the mooring line at various depths have been ...
Coastal processes along the shorefront of Chilka Lake, east coast of India
(NISCAIR, New Delhi, 1993)
Chilka Lake (Orissa, India) inlet mouth is exposed to high annual littoral drift of about 1 x 10 super(6) m super(3). The inlet mouth was observed to migrate about 500 m northward during the period of one year study. ...
Design of a gravity corer for near shore sediment sampling
(NISCAIR, New Delhi, 1992)
For the purpose of geotechnical investigation a gravity corer has been designed and fabricated to obtain undisturbed sediment core samples from near shore waters. The corer was successfully operated at 75 stations up to ...
Numerical modelling of nearshore wave transformation
(Publ. and Inf. Dir., New Delhi, India, 1994)
A software has been developed for numerical refraction study based on finite amplitude wave theories. Wave attenuation due to shoaling, bottom friction, bottom percolation and viscous dissipation has also been incorporated. ...
Geotechnical studies of Jaitapur marine clay
(NIO, Goa, 1991)
A gravity corer was designed and fabricated for near shore sediment sampling. The corer was operated off Jaitapur, West Coast of India, and 70 cores were obtained. The performance of the corer was quite satisfactory. The ...
The wave vane - A device to measure the breaker angle
(Elsevier, 1993)
Deep water wave characteristics off Karwar, west coast of India
(NIO, Goa, 1993)
