Profile surveying in scale model tests of rubble-mound breakwaters, during a test series is, somehow, a time consuming procedure. Aiming to speed up this procedure, a photogrammetric method has been tested, as an alternative ...

IH-2VOF numerical model is applied to study wave interacting with a circular cylinder with a diameter of 0.02 m in a water depth of 0.27 m, with a wave period of 1.08 s and a wave height of 0.047 m. The study includes ...

The Ilha Solteira dam reservoir, which has an extension of 100 km, is located in the northwest of São Paulo state, Brazil. Due to its huge dimension, wind generated waves can cause problems to the navigation security, to ...

The forecast of sea waves has been analyzed, in the literature, using various methodologies. Currently, there are a number of techniques that have shown satisfactory results, which are based on empirical formulations, ...

Numerical modeling of the wave interaction with coastal structures is a challenging issue due to the multi-nonlinear phenomena involved, such as, wave propagation, wave transformation, interaction among incident and reflected ...

Container ships traffic has increased significantly in recent years as well as the ship dimensions, therefore the need for port expansion and construction of new ports. Portugal is no exception to this global phenomenon ...

The knowledge of wave transformation and breaking characteristics near coastline is essential for the nearshore hydrodynamics and the design of coastal structures. This paper describes a wide range of wave flume ...

O sistema em estudo é a barragem do Lago de Ilha Solteira, localizada no interior do estado de São Paulo-Brasil. Este trabalho aborda o comportamento de ondas geradas por ventos em recintos fechados utilizando-se do modelo ...
