This book discusses the subject of wave/current flow around a
cylinder, the forces induced on the cylinder by the flow, and the
vibration pattern of slender structures in a marine environment.
The primary aim of the book is to describe the flow pattern and the
resulting load which develops when waves or current meet a
cylinder. Special attention is paid to circular cylinder. The
development in the forces is related to the various flow patterns
and is discussed in detail. Regular as well as irregular waves are
considered, and special cases like wall proximities (pipelines) are
also investigated.
This book treats the subject of local scour around different kinds
of marine structures, exposed to waves and/or currents. The first,
major part of the book is devoted to marine pipelines, describing
in detail all kinds of scour scenarios, and also making
recommendations for scour protection. Other kinds of structures
considered are single piles (slender or large), groups of piles,
complex subsea structures, breakwaters, and seawalls. The scour due
to ship propellers is also described. The book deals mainly with
the scour in noncohesive sediment but, whenever possible, available
literature on the scour in finer sediment has been incorporated. In
addition, a chapter on the impact of wave-induced liquefaction is
included.The authors' aim is to describe in detail the hydrodynamic
processes causing the erosion. With a hydrodynamic understanding,
it is easier for the consulting engineer to predict scour in those
many cases where physical model tests are not available.
This book treats the subject of sediment transport in the marine
environment, covering transport of noncohesive sediment by waves
and currents in- and outside the surf zone. It can be read
independently, but a background in hydraulics and basic wave
mechanics is required.The primary aim of the book is to describe
the physical processes of sediment transport and how to represent
them in mathematical models. The book can be divided in two main
parts; in the first, the relevant hydrodynamic theory is described.
This part contains a review of elementary theory for water waves,
chapters on the turbulent wave boundary layer and the turbulent
interaction between waves and currents, and finally, surf zone
hydrodynamics and wave driven currents.The second part covers
sediment transport and morphological development.The part on
sediment transport introduces the basic concepts (critical bed
shear stress, bed load, suspended load and sheet layer, near-bed
concentration, effect of sloping bed); it treats suspended sediment
in waves and current and in the surf zone, and current and
wave-generated bed forms. Finally, the modelling of cross-shore and
long-shore sediment transport is described together with the
development of coastal profiles and coastlines.
