1. Swash Processes and Dune Erosion: Emphasis on Vessel-Generated Waves
Abstract : In navigable waterways, owing to the relatively short fetches for wind wave generation, the free waves generated by moving vessels often produce the dominant wave action with respect to erosion of the shore. In response to the fairly recent introduction of high-speed ferries, combined with a planned expansion within the passenger- and car-carrying ship market, the need to model and predict coastline changes as a result of exposure to vessel-generated waves has become a topic of increased research.

2. Shock wave effects on the vascular endothelium
Abstract : A shock wave is a pressure wave with high amplitude and a velocity above sound. Man is exposed to shock waves (SWs) in connection with trauma, e.g. explosions and high-energy missiles and medical treatments such as extracorporeal lithotripsy (ESWL). READ MORE

3. Statistical Analysis of Crests and Maxima in Gaussian Seas
Abstract : An important problem in ocean engineering is to find distributions for characteristic wave parameters. For wind-generated water waves at deep water, a Gaussian distribution for the wave-surface elevation is considered a reasonable model. READ MORE
