Coastal dynamics of swell and long waves is important for morphological changes, near shore circulation, wave amplification, transport of sediments and pollutants, and also comfort of the boats in harbors and bays. There are different models computing near shore behavior of long waves and tsunamis under different input wave and bathymetric and morphological conditions. NAMI DANCE (developed in collaboration with METU, Turkey and Special Bureau of Automation of Research Russian Academy of Sciences, Russia) and FUNWAVE (developed by James T. Kirby et al., University of Delaware) are two of the selected models for simulations of waves, computations of hydrodynamic characteristics of waves such as water velocities and directions. Both models have the capabilities of solving tsunami propagation considering dispersion. As the case studies these models are applied to two different problems for comparisons, tests and generalization.

Wind and wave climate in Eastern Mediterranean basin
Kışlakcı, Ahmet Umud; Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet; Department of Civil Engineering (2008)
The wind and wave (wind wave/swell wave) climate has an important role in the design and operation of coastal and marine structures, harbors and ports. The objective of this study is to identify the statistical characteristics of the winds, wind waves and swell waves in Eastern Mediterranean, and coastline of Türkiye. For this purpose, the data of wind speed and direction, swell and wind wave height, period and direction for a certain duration with the six hours time intervals are obtained from ECMWF for th...
Effects of harbour shape on the induced sedimentation

Tsunamis in shallow water zones lead to sea water level rise and fall, strong currents, forces (drag, impact, uplift, etc.), morphological changes (erosion, deposition), dynamic water pressure, as well as resonant oscillations. As a result, ground materials under the tsunami motion move and scour/erosion/deposition patterns can be observed in the region. Ports and harbours as enclosed basins are the main examples of coastal structures that usually encounter natural hazards with small or huge damaging scales...
Wind and swell wave climate for Turkish coast of The Aegean and Mediterranean Sea
Derebay, Saygın Kemal; Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet; Department of Civil Engineering (2007)
The swell waves which are an important component of wind generated waves have significant effects on small craft and fisheries. The swell wave climate has an important role in the design and operation of fishing harbors and harbors for small craft. Despite this fact the swell wave climate is not well known for the Turkish coasts. The purpose of the present study was to identify the swell wave climate along the Aegean and Mediterranean Sea coastline of Türkiye. For this purpose wind and swell wave data for a...
A one-line numerical model for shoreline evolution under the interaction of wind waves and offshore breakwaters
Artagan, Salih Serkan; Ergin, Ayşen; Department of Civil Engineering (2006)
A numerical model based on one-line theory is developed to evaluate the wind wave driven longshore sediment transport rate and shoreline change. Model performs wave transformation from deep water through the surf zone and computes the breaking parameters. The formula of longshore sediment transport rate used in the numerical model is selected as a result of comparative studies with the similar expressions and the field measurements. Offshore breakwater module of the numerical model is developed to compute t...
Two-dimensional depth-averaged beach evolution modelling
Baykal, Cüneyt; Ergin, Ayşen; Department of Civil Engineering (2012)
In this study, a two-dimensional depth-averaged beach evolution numerical model is developed to study the medium and long term nearshore sea bottom evolution due to non-cohesive sediment transport under the action of wind waves only over the arbitrary land and sea topographies around existing coastal structures and formations. The developed beach evolution numerical model is composed of four sub-models: a nearshore spectral wave transformation model based on energy balance equation including random wave bre...
