Wave-induced sediment transport and sandbar migration.
Onshore sediment transport and sandbar migration are important to the morphological evolution of beaches but are not well understood. Here, a model that accounts for fluid accelerations in waves predicts the onshore sandbar migration observed on an ocean beach. In both the observations and the model, the location of the maximum acceleration-induced transport moves shoreward with the sandbar, re...
متن کاملOblique Rayleigh wave scattering by a cylindrical cavity
The problem of oblique wave scattering of a Rayleigh wave by a cylindrical cavity in an elastic half-space is solved using the multipole expansion method. Whereas in the analogous water-wave problem a single scalar field is expressed as an infinite multipole expansion, and in the Rayleigh wave case with normal incidence two scalar fields suffice, here we require three coupled scalar multipole e...
متن کاملMeasuring oblique incidence sound absorption using a local plane wave assumption
In this paper a method for the measurement of the oblique incidence sound absorption coefficient is presented. It is based on a local field assumption, in which the acoustic field is locally approximated by one incidentand one specularly reflected plane wave. The amplitudes of these waves can be determined with an unidirectional sound intensity probe. The local activeand incident acoustic inten...

متن کاملUltrasonic waves Reflected at Oblique Incidence by Porous Rigid Medium
An ultrasonic reflected wave at oblique incidence by porous medium with rigid frames is considered using equivalent fluid model. The viscous and thermal losses of the medium are described by two susceptibility kernels which depend on the viscous and thermal characteristic lengths. Analytical derivation of reflection coefficient is given in frequency domain. The simulated reflected wave is obtai...
