Effects of biogenic surfactants on the spatial variability of surface water temperature under low-wind conditions
David Andrew Barry, Mehrshad Foroughan
Natural slicks are manifested by changing reflective properties of water surfaces through inhibition of wave-growth and damping short gravity-capillary waves. Such influence on near-surface hydrodynamics can in turn affects the air-water exchange of moment ...
2020Effect of bed roughness on tsunami-like waves and induced loads on buildings
Anton Schleiss, Michael Pfister, Davide Wüthrich
Tsunami, impulse-waves and dam-break waves afflict humanity with casualties and damages. An insight into the flow mechanisms of these waves is important to provide safety and reduce reconstruction costs. This experimental study focuses on the effect of bed ...
2019Impacts of wave and tidal forcing on 3D nearshore processes on natural beaches. Part I: Flow and turbulence fields
David Andrew Barry, Roham Bakhtyar
The major objective of this study was to develop further understanding of 3D nearshore hydrodynamics under a variety of wave and tidal forcing conditions. The main tool used was a comprehensive 3D numerical model – combining the flow module of Delft3D with ...
Techno-Press2016Impacts of wave and tidal forcing on 3D nearshore processes on natural beaches. Part II. Sediment transport
David Andrew Barry, Roham Bakhtyar
This is the second of two papers on the 3D numerical modeling of nearshore hydro- and morphodynamics. In Part I, the focus was on surf and swash zone hydrodynamics in the cross-shore and longshore directions. Here, we consider nearshore processes with an e ...
Techno-Press2016Memory of past random wave conditions in submarine groundwater discharge
David Andrew Barry, Clare Robinson
Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) is an integral part of the hydrological cycle and represents an important aspect of land-ocean interactions. We used a numerical model to simulate flow and salt transport in a nearshore groundwater aquifer under varyin ...
American Geophysical Union2014Influence of beach grain size and bed slope on nearshore hydro- and morpho-dynamics
David Andrew Barry, Roham Bakhtyar
Two major parameters that determine the beach type are sediment grain size and beach slope. Intermediate beaches normally have steep slopes and are associated with coarse-grained sands and narrow surf zones, while dissipative beaches generally have mild sl ...
2012Numerical experiments on breaking waves on contrasting beaches using a two-phase flow approach
David Andrew Barry, Roham Bakhtyar
A mechanistic understanding of beach environments needs to account for interactions of oceanic forcing and beach materials, in particular the role of waves on the evolution of the beach profile. A fully coupled two-phase flow model was used to simulate nea ...
Elsevier20123D modelling of nearshore coastal morphodynamics
David Andrew Barry, Roham Bakhtyar
Coastal 3D nearshore processes were considered with an emphasis on the effects of oceanic forcing and beach characteristics on sediment transport in both cross- and alongshore directions, as well as on foreshore bathymetry changes. In our numerical experim ...
2012Numerical experiments of breaking waves on dissipative and intermediate beaches using a two-phase flow method
David Andrew Barry, Roham Bakhtyar
A fully coupled two-phase flow model was developed to simulate nearshore fluid-sediment turbulent flow. It includes the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations and turbu¬lent stress closures for each phase, and accounts for inter-granular stresses. It wa ...
2011Impacts of 3D wave and tidal forcing on nearshore hydrodynamics
David Andrew Barry, Roham Bakhtyar
Numerical investigations covering all the physical processes occurring in the surf and swash zones, including the cross-shore and longshore flows, have not been fully developed, although considerable work in 2D has appeared in recent years. However, given ...
