Wave Interaction with Large Topographic or Man-made Structures
1998
Mei, Chiang C.
To study, by fluid mechanical theories, the interaction of ocean surface waves with structures, either natural (sandbars, harbors, coastline) or man-made (offshore airports, breakwaters). Factors of natural environment (wind, sediments) that are integral parts of the physical process are included. For the present grant the immediate goals are to examine: (1) Various resonance mechanisms that can lead to large wave loads around a structure. In the current year, efforts are focused on a structure with periodic components, with the ultimate view to studying a floating airport supported by many submersibles; and (2) Mechanisms of generating periodic sandbars on the seacoast which may be of importance to small-scale naval operations.
