Random waves are the most important constituent of the sea environment, as they make the
design of maritime structures quite different from that of structures on land. In this book, the …

In the long term development of the research on wind waves and their modelling, in
particular of the inner and coastal seas, the present situation is framed with a short look at …

The Coastal Inlets Research Program (CIRP) of the US Army Engineer Research and
Development Center, Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory, in collaboration with two …

This report, the second in a series, describes upgrades of the two-dimensional circulation
model CMS-M2D developed under the Coastal Inlets Research Program (CIRP) conducted …

Beach erosion is a phenomenon in which land is worn away and disappears owing to wave
action. Generally, coasts exposed to open ocean are separated into sandy beaches and …

A two-dimensional numerical model of nearshore waves, currents, and sediment transport
was developed. The multi-directional random wave transformation model formulated by …

Direct measurements of coarse sediment (gravel) transport are presented and analyzed
from a mixed sand and gravel beach on Bainbridge Island, Puget Sound, WA that is …

Abstract The Coastal Inlets Research Program (CIRP) of the US Army Engineer Research
and Development Center (ERDC), Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory (CHL) has developed …

This study extends an energy-balance-equation wave model (a phase-averaging wave
model) for multidirectional random wave transformations to account for wave shoaling …

The morphodynamics of the John's Pass–Blind Pass dual inlet system were investigated
based on hydrodynamic and morphology measurements, and numerical modeling. The co …
