Tsunami waves are often very energetic and therefore pose a significant threat to coastal structures. However, most defenses such as detached breakwaters designed protect against storm waves, with the consequence that tsunamis lead catastrophic failure of these This numerical study was inspired by wave scenario, which occurred at Soma Port in Japan, during 2011 Tohoku tsunami where combination ...

due to the expected increase of defects in circuits based on deep submicron technologies, reliability has become an important design criterion. although different approaches have been developed to estimate reliability in digital circuits and some measuring concepts have been separately presented to reveal the quality of analog circuit reliability in the literature, there is a gap to estimate re...

submerged breakwaters are one of the shore protective structures. any discontinuity in these breakwaters causes changes on current parameters including speed and water surface profile. in this paper, discontinuous submerged breakwaters were modelled to investigate the changes in the wave and flow pattern.to investigate the phenomenon, three models including a shore with constant slope, a shore ...

West Palm Beach (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. The evolution of the coast of Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand, and its erosion problems have been governed by multiple factors, including its tectonic setting with an earthquake in 193...

BACKGROUND: The bioengineering technique used in Germany for erosion control includes a relatively low-cost biodegradable breakwater with wetlands located shoreward. The technique has application for shoreline erosion control on many U.S. reservoirs with dense thickets of young, woody trees, e.g. willow, cottonwood, and alder, located near them since these materials are used in the breakwater. ...

A computationally efficient approximate analytical solution based on the classic solution for diffraction about a semi-infinite breakwater, is developed to assess the wave energy shadow down-wave of a single row array of overtopping type wave energy converters approximated as partially transmitting breakwater segments. The approximations associated with the solution are mitigated by a compariso...
