Wave directional spreading at shallow and intermediate depth
(Cent. for Earth Sci. Stud., Cochin (India), 1997)
Based on wave measurements carried out at shallow and intermediate water depths variation of directional spread parameter 's' is studied. A comparison of the mean wave directional and principal wave direction shows that ...
Soft and hard computing approaches for real-time prediction of currents in a tide-dominated coastal area
(IMechE, 2007)
The prediction of tidal currents in the coastal region on a real-time or online basis is useful in taking operation- and planning-related decisions such as towing of vessels and monitoring of oil slick movements. Currently, ...
Estimation of wave directional spreading
(American Society of Civil Engineers, Virginia, USA, 2001)
One of the useful measures of waves directional spreading at a given location is the directional spreading parameter. This paper presents a new approach to arrive at its characteristic value using the computational technique ...
Analysis of wave directional spreading using neural networks
(ASCE, 2002)
The short-term directional spreading of wave energy at a given location is popularly modeled with the help of the Cosine Power model. This model is oriented mainly around value of the spreading parameter involved in its ...
Design wave estimation considering directional distribution of waves
(Elsevier, 2004)
The design of coastal and offshore structures requires design significant wave height having a certain return period. The commonly followed procedure to estimate the design wave height, does not give any consideration to ...
Neural network-genetic programming for sediment transport
(Institution of Civil Engineers, 2007)
The planning, operation, design and maintenance of almost all harbour and coastal engineering facilities call for an estimation of the longshore sediment transport rate. This is currently and popularly done with the help ...
Estimation of wave directional spreading in shallow water
(Pergamon, 1999)
Wave directional spreading in shallow water is described in this paper. Waves were measured for a period of two months using the Datawell directional waverider buoy at 15m water depth on the east coast of India in the Bay ...
Prediction of littoral drift with artificial neural networks
(Copernicus, 2008)
The amount of sand moving parallel to a coastline forms a prerequisite for many harbor design projects. Such information is currently obtained through various empirical formulae. Despite so many works in the past an accurate ...
Directional spread parameter at intermediate water depth
(Pergamon, 2000)
The characteristics of directional spread parameters at intermediate water depth are investigated based on a cosine power '2s' directional spreading model. This is based on wave measurements carried out using a Datawell ...
Directional wave spectra off southeast coast of Tamil Nadu
(Allied, Chennai (India), 1996)
Knowledge on directional wave parameter is important for the design of any coastal structure and estimation of nearshore sediment tansport. The desired degree of detail may vary from the information on predominant wave ...
