A machine learning architecture for including wave breaking in envelope-type wave models

Wave breaking is a complex physical process about which open questions remain. For some applications, it is critical to include breaking effects in phase-resolved envelope-based wave models such as the non-linear Schr & ouml;dinger. A promising approach is ...

Temporal Prediction of Landslide-GeneratedWaves Using a Theoretical–Statistical Combined Method.

Christophe Ancey, Zhenzhu Meng, Yating Hu

For the prediction of landslide-generated waves, previous studies have developed numerous empirical equations to express the maximums of wave characteristics as functions of slide parameters upon impact. In this study, we built the temporal relationship be ...

How Lagrangian States Evolve Into Random Waves

Alejandro Rivera

In this paper, we consider a compact connected manifold (X, g) of negative curvature, and a family of semi-classical Lagrangian states f(h)(x) = a(x)e(i phi(x)/h) on X. For a wide family of phases phi, we show that f(h), when evolved by the semi-classical ...

Floating bridges and various methods for determining their long-term extreme response due to wave loading

This project presents the theoretical background for calculating the long-term extreme response of pontoon-style floating bridges. Research into surrogate models for the long-term extreme response is given special attention, and various simulations of the ...

Experimental study on tsunamis generated by landslides

Christophe Ancey, Zhenzhu Meng, Ivan Maeder

Tsunami generated by landslides is one of the major threats to populations in coastal areas. A recent example is the 2017 Nuugaatsiaq tsunami. The village in Greenland was partially swept by a tsunami created by a landslide that fell into the Karrat Fjord. ...

Experimental study of impulse waves generated by viscoplastic fluid

Zhenzhu Meng

Landslide-generated waves, also called impulse waves, occur as a result of the intrusion of landslides (such as rock falls, debris flows, and avalanches) into bodies of water (such as lakes, reservoirs, and seas). The objective of this thesis was to study ...

The effects of slide cohesion on impulse-wave formation

Christophe Ancey, Zhenzhu Meng

Experimental studies of impulse-wave formation have mostly used rigid blocks or granular materials to mimic landslides at the laboratory scale. These studies have deduced that material deformability plays a key part in wave formation: the more rigid the sl ...

The effects of slide cohesion on impulse waves generated by landslides

Christophe Ancey, Zhenzhu Meng

When gravity-driven mass flows, such as avalanches and landslides, enter bodies of water, they can generate large impulse waves whose effects can be devastating. Experimental studies of impulse wave formation have mostly used rigid blocks or granular mater ...
