INGE 5027: Ocean Wave Dynamics for Engineers

Dr. Sylvia Rodríguez Abudo - Spring 2014 Course Outline

Prerequisites: INGE 4015 (Fluid Mechanics) and MATE 4009 (Ordinary Differential

Equations), or permission from Department Director

Schedule: Tuesday & Thursday 2:00-3:15 PM Stefani 305 (SUBJECT TO CHANGE, please

contact Dr. Rodríguez for more info)

Overview: This course is an intensive examination of the topic of water waves, focused on the

engineering applications of ocean wave dynamics. Students will analyze in detail the physical

and mathematical fundamentals describing the behavior of ocean waves, and will lear n to use

statistics and extreme wave analysis to develop design wave criteria. The course format will

include lectures, field trips and other hands-on activities. Class topics will include:

· Linear wave theory fundamentals

· Wave transformation: refraction, diffraction, shoaling and wave breaking

· Wave statistics and wave spectra

· Tides and other sea level variations

· Design wave criteria

· Wave-induced currents

· Wave-structure interaction: wave loads, overtopping, reflection, wave runup

· Harbor hydrodynamics

· Other advanced topics will be determined based on student interest

III. Results/Findings

A. Photograph Analysis

There were only two places where existed observable changes represented in the aerial

photograph analysis and comparison. Peñón Amador and Punta Caracoles, in both places the

eolinanites suffered a collapse, not entirely but in the northern part of the rocks, ocean side.

Below are the images that were used to identify the changes.
