Planning and management of the coastal zone in India - A perspective
(Taylor and Francis, 1992)
India's coastal zone has, since ancient times, played a very significant role in socioeconomic, political, and defense developments. For a developing country like India with a vast coastal zone, there is a need for ...
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 ...
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 ...
Surfzone dynamics of the Konkan coast, India
(Oxford and IBH, New Delhi, 1992)
The Konkan Coast has the distinct morphological features than the rest of the Indian Coast. Field studies on beach variation, littoral environmental observation and longshore sediment transport were carried out for a period ...
A longshore sediment transport estimation for the Indian coast
(Indian Society for Physical Sciences of the Oceans, 1992)
An empirical sediment transport model has been developed based on longshore energy flux equation. Study indicates that annual gross sediment transport rate is high (1.5 x 10 super(6) m super(3) to 2.0 x 10 super(6) m ...
Estimation of design wave heights based on exterme value statistics for Kakinada coast, Bay of Bengal
(NISCAIR, New Delhi, 1992)
Statistical analyses for longterm distribution of significant wave heights were performed using Lognormal, Weibull, Gumbel and Fretcher distributions for waves measured off Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh, India from June 1983 ...
Coastal aquaculture engineering By A.N Bose, S.N Ghosh, C.T Yang and A Mitra
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1992)
Longshore sediment transport model for the Indian west coast
(Coastal Research Foundation, 1992)
Longshore sediment transport rates for the Indian west coast from Cochin to Porbandar are estimated from ship observed wave data (1968 to 1986). The sediment transport rate is relatively high during the southwest monsoon ...
