Waves: Part 2 I. Types of Waves A. Deep-Water Waves and Shallow-Water Waves Deep-water waves are waves that move in water deeper than one-half their wavelength. B. When deep-water waves begin to interact with the ocean floor, the waves are called shallow- water waves. I. Types of Waves, continued C. Shore Currents When waves crash on the beach head-on, the water they moved through flows back to the ocean underneath new incoming waves. D. This movement of water forms a subsurface current that pulls objects out to sea and is called an undertow. I. Types of Waves, continued E. Longshore Currents are water currents that travel near and parallel to the shore line. F. Longshore currents form when waves hit the shore at an angle. G. Longshore currents transport most of the sediment in beach environments I. Types of Waves, continued H. Open-Ocean Waves Sometimes waves called whitecaps and swells form in the open ocean. I. White, foaming waves with very steep crests that break in the open ocean before the waves get close to the shore are called whitecaps. J. Rolling waves that move steadily across the ocean are called swells. I. Types of Waves, continued K. Tsunamis are waves that form when a large volume of ocean water is suddenly moved up or down. This movement can be caused by underwater earthquakes, as shown below. Destructive Forces Video I. Types of Waves, continued L. Storm Surges are local rises in sea level near the shore that are caused by strong winds from a storm. M. Winds form a storm surge by blowing water into a big pile under the storm. As the storm moves onto shore, so does the giant mass of water beneath it. .

Dynamic Behaviour of Hydraulic Structures, Part B
Dynamic behaviour of hydraulic structures Part B Structures in waves P.A. Kolkman T.H.G. Jongeling Delft Hydraulics The three manuscripts (parts A, B and C) were put in book form by Rijkswaterstaat in Dutch in a limited edition and distributed within Rijkswaterstaat and Delft Hydraulics. Dutch title of that edition is: Dynamisch gedrag van Waterbouwkundige Constructies. Ten years after this Dutch version Delft Hydraulics decided to translate the books into English thus making these available for English speaking colleagues as well. Because of in the text often referred is to Delft Hydraulic reports made for clients (so with restrictions for others to look at) we decided to limit the circulation of the English version as well. However, the books are of value also without perusal of these reports. The task was carried out by Mr. R.J. de Jong of Delft Hydraulics.

Energy and material are continually exchanged at the interfaces between water and air, ice, rocks, and sediments. In addition to the physical and chemical processes, biological processes play a significant role. Vast areas of the ocean remain unexplored. Investigation of the surface ocean is carried out by satellites. All other observations and measurements have to be carried out in-situ using research vessels and spe- cial instruments. Ocean observation requires the use of special technologies such as remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), towed camera systems etc. Seismic methods provide the foundation for mapping the bottom topography and sedimentary structures. We cordially welcome you to the international OCEANS ’09 conference and exhibition, to the world’s leading conference and exhibition in ocean science, engineering, technology and management. OCEANS conferences have become one of the largest professional meetings and expositions devoted to ocean sciences, technology, policy, engineering and education.

The cycling hydrothermal fluid hosts favorable conditions for unique life forms and novel mineralization mechanisms, which have attracted the interests of researchers in fields of biological, chemical and geological studies. Shallow-water hydrothermal vents located in coastal areas are suitable for hydrothermal studies due to their close relationship with human activities. This paper presents a summary of the developments in exploration and detection methods for shallow-water hydrothermal systems. Mapping and measuring approaches of vents, together with newly developed equipment, including sensors, measuring systems and water samplers, are included. These techniques provide scientists with improved accuracy, efficiency or even extended data types while studying shallow-water hydrothermal systems. Further development of these techniques may provide new potential for hydrothermal studies and relevant studies in fields of geology, origins of life and astrobiology.

Signature: . Patrick Eminet Shabangu 24 February 2015 Date: . Copyright © 2015 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved. i Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract In general, coastal and shelf hydrodynamic modelling is undertaken with lim- ited area numerical models such as Delft3D or Mike 21. To conduct successful numerical simulations these programmes require appropriate boundary condi- tions. Various options exist to obtain boundary conditions such as Neumann conditions, specifying water levels, specifying velocities and combination of these, amongst others. In this study one specific method is investigated, namely the specification of water levels on all the open boundaries using a "reduced physics" approach. This method may be more appropriate than Neumann conditions when the domain is fairly large and is also of particular interest as it allows measured data to be incorporated in the boundary condi- tions, although the latter was not considered in this study.

Typeset in LATEX Gothenburg, Sweden 2017 iv Real-Time Water Animation and Rendering using Wavefront Parameter Interpolation Gustav Olsson Department of Computer Science and Engineering Chalmers University of Technology Abstract Realistic simulation and rendering of water is a challenge within the ﬁeld of computer graphics because of its inherent multi-scale nature. When observing a large body of water such as the sea, there are small waves and perturbations visible close to the observer. As the distance increases, the small scale details form large scale wave patterns that may be several kilometers away. A common approach to rendering large bodies of water in real-time is to simulate deep water waves in a small area and repeat the wave motions across the water surface at diﬀerent spatial scales in order to minimize repetition patterns.

A crest height designed to protect against specified return periods avoids damages due to overflowing and overtopping. In order to avoid overflowing, the design sea levels should be at least at the design flood level, also referred to as the extreme flood level, which is usually composed of tides and storm surges. The extreme flood level can be determined by several approaches, such as the Annual Maxima, Simple Addition, Joint Probability, and Revised Joint Probability Methods. These methods have various limitations in terms of the required amount of data, the representation of contributing factors in sea level fluctuations, the ability to assess the joint probability of these factors, and the degree of independence required of the data.
