PhD Defense: Enhanced Fully Nonlinear Boussinesq-type Equations in Conserved Variable Form and Linear Analytical Properties with Compact Finite Difference Schemes
POST 723 1680 East-West Road, HonoluluTroy W. Heitmann PhD Candidate Department of Ocean and Resources Engineering University of Hawai’i at Mānoa **This defense will be held both in person (POST 723) and over Zoom** Meeting ID: 974 2551 3125 Passcode: ORE https://hawaii.zoom.us/j/97425513125 In coastal engineering applications, Boussinesq-type models are limited by orders of approximation originating in both the governing equations and numerical schemes employed. Dispersive model solutions reflect a composition of approximations dependent upon finite sampling intervals. This study aims to improve understanding of both theoretical and numerical facets, with the end goal of strengthening practitioner awareness in model applicability. A modern approach to parameterize
MS Plan A Defense: Using Nonhydrostatic XBeach to Simulate Wave Transformations in Fringing Reef Environment
POST 723 1680 East-West Road, HonoluluJonathan Chase Master’s Student Department of Ocean and Resources Engineering University of Hawai’i at Mānoa **This defense will be held both in person (POST 723) and over Zoom** Meeting ID: 947 3961 2246 Passcode: ORE https://hawaii.zoom.us/j/94739612246 The scope of this study is to assess the feasibility and limitations of using the Nonhydrostatic version of XBeach (NonhXB, a two-dimensional (2D), phase resolved, depth integrated numerical model) to study the effects of nearshore wave transformations in a fringing reef environment. This study focused on finding the optimal grid size to simulate the breaker zone characteristics in a fringing reef environment by comparing
MS Plan B Defense: Analysis of XBeach non-hydrostatic model capability in processing SWAN spectral input
POST 723 1680 East-West Road, HonoluluMalia Selman Master’s Student Department of Ocean and Resources Engineering University of Hawai’i at Mānoa **This defense will be held both in person (POST 723) and over Zoom** Meeting ID: 918 3466 1004 Passcode: MaliaMS https://hawaii.zoom.us/j/91834661004 Numerical models have become an industry staple for identifying and predicting coastal conditions. These models are used in engineering design and hazard mitigation with implication for public and infrastructure safety. Open-sourced model packages are attractive options as they promote collaboration between academics and working professionals in the development and improvement of the source code. Developed by the Delft University of Technology, the nearshore model
