Book Description
This unique compendium comprehensively covers several important topics related to the field of maritime hydraulics, particularly the underlying physics in the wave structure interaction with the coastal structures, coastal and inland flooding during extreme events in addition to perineal erosion. These topics are well understood through physical and numerical modelling, in which the scale effects, proving the models and its range of applicability are vividly discussed.This useful reference text serves as a guide to engineers, planners, researchers, decision makers and graduate students working in the field of coastal, estuarine and harbor engineering.

Turbulence in River and Maritime Hydraulics
Author: Michele Mossa
Publisher: MDPI
ISBN: 303897594X
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 286
Book Description
Understanding of the role of turbulence in controlling transport processes is of paramount importance for the preservation and protection of aquatic ecosystems, the minimization of the deleterious consequences of anthropogenic activity, and the successful sustainable development of river and maritime areas. In this context, the present Special Issue collects 15 papers which provide a representation of the present understanding of turbulent processes and their effects in river and maritime environments. The presented collection of papers is not exhaustive, but it highlights the key priority areas and knowledge gaps in this field of research. The published papers present the state-of-the-art knowledge of complex environmental flows which are useful for researchers and practitioners. The paper contents are an overview of some recent topics of research and an exposure of the current and future challenges associated with these topics.

Applied Marine Hydraulics
Author: Perry A. Stutman
Publisher: Cornell Maritime Press/Tidewater Publishers
ISBN:
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
For decades, the only hydraulic equipment aboard ship was the steering gear, and rarely did it require the attention associated with other equipment. Within the last two decades, however, hydraulics have been increasingly substituted for electrical equipment, and many shipboard engineers have lacked the skills and extensive background needed for the repair and maintenance of hydraulic systems. Training and instructional materials have not kept pace with the changes. Applied Marine Hydraulics meets this growing need.An excellent handbook of marine hydraulics. -- The Westcoast Mariner

Historical Dictionary of the U.S. Maritime Industry
Author: Kenneth J. Blume
Publisher: Scarecrow Press
ISBN: 0810856344
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 613
Book Description
In the Historical Dictionary of the U.S. Maritime Industry, author Kenneth J. Blume provides a convenient survey of this important industry from the colonial period to the present day: from sail to steam to nuclear power. This concise new reference work captures the key features of overseas, coastal, lake, and river shipping and industry. An introduction provides an overview of the industry while the dictionary itself contains more than four hundred cross-referenced entries on ships, shipping companies, famous personalities, and major ports. A number of appendixes, including statistics on foreign trade, maritime disasters, famous ships, and major ports, supplement the dictionary, and a comprehensive bibliography leads the researcher to further sources.
