Measuring Runup and Bed Shear Stress Using Long Stroke Wave-Makers (NEES-2010-0919)

<p><strong>Title</strong>: Measuring Runup and Bed Shear Stress Using Long Stroke Wave-Makers (NEES-2010-0919)</p> <p><b>Year Of Curation: </b>2014</p> <p><b>Description: </b>Based on the observations during the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunamis, it is evident that the leading tsunami waves could have various forms: undulating bores and long waves with a leading depression. It is certain that theses leading waves are not solitary waves. A new paradigm needs to be established for experimental tsunami research.</p> <p><b>Award: </b>http://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=1041541</p> <p><b>PIs & CoPIs: </b>Philip Liu, Harry Yeh</p> <p><b>Dates: </b>September 01, 2010 - January 25, 2013</p> <p><b>Organizations: </b>Cornell University, NY, United States</p> <p><b>Facilities: </b>Oregon State University, OR, United States</p> <p><b>Sponsor: </b>NSF - 1041541</p> <p><b>Keywords: </b>bed shear stress,solitary waves,plane beach,swash,run-up,N-waves,bores</p> <p><b>Publications:--</b></p> <nb:citations></nb:citations>
