Three common approximate methods known as Wheeler stretching, linear and vertical extrapolation are investigated to evaluate their application for predicting wave kinematics. The measured horizontal velocity of regular and dual component waves, which conceptual1y represent a very narrow and broad bandwidth wave train respectively, is found to be satisfactorily consistent with numerical results based on the finite-amplitude wave theory.

Increased attention has recently been focused on determination and reproduction of realistic properties of extreme sea waves for use in numerical and physical modeling and design load computations. [Read more…] about Experimental Study of Kinematics of Large Transient Wave in 2-D Wave Tank

A Strategic Petroleum Reserve is being created along the Gulf coast of southeast Texas and southern Louisiana. Storage caverns have been created in salt domes using a leaching process, and the resultant brine solution is pumped offshore through a submerged pipeline where it is discharged through a multiport diffuser.
