Book Description
This review volume, the third in the series, presents the latest topics for discussion, which provides invaluable information to coastal and ocean engineers around the world. In the first paper of this volume, entitled “Internal Solitary Waves”, Grimshaw reviews the basic theory of weakly nonlinear waves in an incompressible density-stratified fluid. The internal solitary waves solutions and effects such as friction, refraction and finite amplitude on internal solitary waves are also discussed. In the second paper entitled “The 3/2-Power Law for Ocean Wind Waves and Its Applications”, Toba gives a thorough review on the field evidence and physical background of the 3/2-power law and the associated wind-wave energy spectra. Several wind-wave prediction models are also discussed. Goda, in his paper entitled “Directional Wave Spectrum and Its Engineering Applications”, gives a brief historical overview of the development of directional wave spectrum. He presents several standard formulas for directional spreading function for engineering applications and discusses the effects of directional spreading on nearshore currents and wave forces on coastal structures. In a companion paper entitled “Analysis of the Directional Wave Spectrum from Field Data”, Hashimoto describes the maximum entropy principle method, Bayesian directional spectrum estimation method and the extended maximum entropy method for estimating directional wave spectrum. Hashimoto also introduces a new developed Doppler-type directional wave meter for field measurements. Finally, in “Reliability-Based Design of Coastal Structures”, Barcharth introduces a design procedure that makes it possible to optimize a design and/or to design to a specific failure probability level.

Observed Directional Spectra of Shoaling and Breaking Waves

Book Description
The evolution of the frequency-directional wave spectrum, E(f, theta), across the inner continental shelf and beach was examined with measurements collected at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineer's Field Research Facility during the recent SandyDuck experiment. Arrays of bottom pressure sensors were deployed on the shelf in 20 m depth and on the beach in depths ranging from 2 - 5 m. These arrays were complemented by a directional wave buoy in 20 m depth and an array of pressure sensors in 8 m depth maintained by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. A preliminary analysis of these data is presented here focused on four case studies that illustrate the observed wave shoaling evolution in both non-breaking and breaking conditions. Estimates of E(f, theta) extracted from array cross-spectra at six cross-shore locations are compared to predictions of linear refraction theory. The present observations support conclusions from previous studies that the cross-shore evolution of dominant wave propagation direction is well described by linear refraction theory. Observations of harmonic peak development at directions aligned with the dominant waves are consistent with theoretical wave-wave interaction rules and previous observations. In both non-breaking and breaking conditions, the observed E(f, theta) are directionally broader than predicted. In contrast to previous observations on a barred beach, the present observations on a planar beach do not show a dramatic broadening of directional wave spectra in the surf zone.

Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences

Book Description
Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS)* at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dis semination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all concerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an international publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Corporation of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 39 (thesis year 1994) a total of 13,953 thesis titles from 21 Canadian and 159 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this impor tant annual reference work. While Volume 39 reports theses submitted in 1994, on occasion, certain uni versities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.
