SHORE PROTECTION WORKS AT SHIMONOSEKI PORT COAST

Shore protection by oblique seabed bars

Shore protection by small seabed bars was once considered possible because seafloor undulations strongly reflect surface waves of twice the wavelength by the so-called Bragg resonance mechanism. The idea, however, proved “unreliable” when Yu & Mei (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 404, 2000, pp. 251-268) showed that a patch of longshore seabed bars adjacent to a reflective shore could result in larger wave...

A Comparative Study of Representation of Shore in the Works of Nima Yushij and Bahman Mohasses

In the modern art of Iran, painting discourse and poetry discourse (in spite of the ancient artistic tradition) are independent from each other. Nevertheless, poetry and painting sometimes join together; for instance, in the connection between the poetry of Nima Yushij and the painting of Bahman Mohasses. The aim of this paper is to study this connection and also find out the hidden common expe...

Autonomous Underwater Vehicles for Port Protection

NATO’s present capability to deal with a terrorist threat to our ports is slow, dangerous, and inefficient. Ports are a challenging area within which to conduct MCM operations due to several factors: shipping movements, very shallow water, turbidity, confined space, mine burial due to muddy/silty conditions, and high clutter density. The shortfall in NATO’s ability to deal with this problem has...
