This thesis is focused on river and tidal stream power assessment, focussing particularly on uncertainties in power estimates resulting from inaccurate characterisation of bed roughness and turbine drag. It presents analytical and numerical models for the transfer of these uncer…

Storm surge flooding in low-lying coastal cities is among the costliest and deadliest natural disasters. Sea-level rise due to global warming is expected to increase the intensity of coastal flooding. A quantitative understanding of flood hazards and vulnerability is necessary f…
A non-invasive transient state measurement method for wind tunnels would be very valuable as an experimental tool. Traditional measurement techniques for transient flows, e.g., hot wire anemometry, require sensors that are placed in the flow. Alternatively, particle image veloci…
Public interest in tsunamis has increased dramatically due to the devastating consequences of recent events in Indonesia (2004) and Japan (2011). Efforts are underway by both private industry and the United States federal government to develop probabilistic tsunami hazard assess…
Indian River Inlet (IRI), DE, USA, is located at roughly the midpoint of ~ 40 km Atlantic coast of Delaware and is the major waterway that connects the Atlantic Ocean to two Delaware inland bays. Twin jetties constructed in late 1930s to keep the inlet from filling also interrup…
Coastal water level data are valuable in many monitoring, emergency management, forecast and research applications, yet observation gaps pose a challenge. This study uses multilayer perceptron and autoencoder-decoder models to learn the spatio-temporal relationships among water …
The Istanbul Strait, the narrow waterway separating Europe from Asia, holds a strategic importance in maritime transportation as it links the Black Sea to the Mediterranean. It is considered one of the world's most dangerous waterways to navigate. Over 50,000 transit vessels pas…
Concrete is the most versatile construction material in the world today. It is estimated that approximately 50% of the expenditure in the construction industry is spent on repair and rehabilitation of the existing structures in aggressive environmental conditions. This implies a…
Torpedo-shaped anchors serve as foundations for risers and floating structures in the deep-water marine environment. Such cone-tipped, cylindrical steel pipes, ballasted with concrete and scrap metal, penetrate the seabed by the kinetic energy they acquire during free fall. Esti…
The continuing growth of maritime transportation and the great competition in shipping industry have created a fertile field for applying computer simulation. In this research, a simulation model for a seaport is designed, analyzed and tested. This simulation model represents th…
A ferry transportation system consists of many factors, which interact in a complex manner. Such system is very difficult to analyze analytically. A computer simulation is thus an appropriate method to aid in understanding the system and its design. The Province of Maluku, which…
The objective of this research is to develop linear and nonlinear theories of wave propagation in extended elastic cables with and without fluid interaction. The motivation for doing so is the need to understand the dynamic response of long cable suspensions, the high frequency/…
The purpose of this dissertation is to create a computer simulation model of a bucket wheel dredge for mining sand and tin-ore. This research is part of a long term plan of PT Timah Tbk, an Indonesian tin mining company, to search for alternative dredging technologies for offsho…
This research evaluated the applicability of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) as a non-destructive technique to predict and characterize the degradation of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites exposed to aqueous environments at ambient and 6.2 ± 0.3 MPa.…
