Shoreline instability under low - angle wave incidence

11 The growth of megacusps as shoreline instabilities is investigated by ex-12 amining the coupling between wave transformation in the shoaling zone, long-13 shore transport in the surf zone, cross-shore transport, and morphological 14 evolution. This coupling is known to drive a potential positive feedback in 15 case of very oblique wave incidence, leading to an unstable shoreline and the 16 c...

Reshaping of beach nourishments under high angle of wave incidence

Reshaping of beach nourishments under high angle of wave incidence i Preface The following report presents the Master of Science Thesis titled " Reshaping Mechanisms of Beach Nourishments under High Angle Wave Conditions " submitted as a partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science (MSc) in Civil Engineering, the main supervision of Ir. Bas Huisman to whom I would...

Sensitivity of the Ellipsometric Parameters to Angle-of-Incidence Variations.

Formulas by which the partial derivatives of the ellipsometric parameters psi and Delta with respect to the angle of incidence can be calculated are presented. These derivatives are plotted as a function of the angle of incidence, the refractive indices of the film, the substrate, and the immersion medium, and also as a function of film thickness on three-dimensional graphs. These graphs illust...

Optimization of the X-ray incidence angle in photoelectron spectrometers

The interplay between the angle-dependent X-ray reflectivity, X-ray absorption and the photoelectron attenuation length in the photoelectron emission process determines the optimal X-ray incidence angle that maximizes the photoelectron signal. Calculations in the wide VUV to the hard X-ray energy range show that the optimal angle becomes more grazing with increasing energy, from a few tens of d...
