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...

crystalline arrays of proteinaceous subunits forming surface layers (s-layers) are now recognized as one of the most common outermost cell envelope components of prokaryotic organisms. the surface layer protein of lactobacillus acidophilus atcc4356 is composed of a single species of protein of apparent molecular weight of 43-46 kda. considering the lactobacillus acidophilus atcc4356 having the ...

This paper presents the concept and initial tank testing of a novel low profile floating breakwater incorporating energy generation. The breakwater is intended to be anchored parallel to the coast with a beach at the front of the device to rotate the incoming waves towards collector tubes. The water hammer principle is used to harvest the high water particle velocities, charging a rear mounted ...

Investigating the potential tsunami hazard for coastal regions is helpful urban development and emergency evacuation. In this paper, we present a deterministic method assessment (DTHA) in terms of amplitude tsunami-induced currents. 21 extreme far-field transoceanic sources located Pacific Rim and, 14 near-field Ryukyu Trough Manila Trench are suggested. The Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data 5...

This paper presents a numerical model for the simulation of solitary wave transformation around a permeable submerged breakwater. The wave-structure interaction is obtained by solving the Volume-Averaged Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes governing equations VARANS and volume of fluid VOF theory. This model is applied to understand the effects of porosity, equivalent mean diameter of porous media,...

Cellular energy production depends on electron transfer (ET) between proteins. In this theoretical study, we investigate the impact of structural and conformational variations on the electronic coupling between the redox proteins methylamine dehydrogenase and amicyanin from Paracoccus denitrificans. We used molecular dynamics simulations to generate configurations over a duration of 40 ns (samp...

in this paper, a two-dimensional reynolds averaged navier-stokes (rans) model is developed to simulate the shoaling, breaking and overtopping of a solitary wave over a vertical breakwater. turbulence intensity is described by using a k turbulence closure model and the free surface configuration is tracked by volume of fluid (vof) technique. to validate the numerical model the simulation result...

The purpose of this paper is to test the feasibility and affectivity of Bragg breakwaters on increasing wave energy by using wave conditions. The Bragg reflection phenomena will depend on the wavelength of surface waves and the spacing of the submerged breakwater. The spacing of the submerged breakwater is the most important parameter for designing a series of submerged breakwaters. In this pap...
