    • Wave Reflection and Transmission at Permeable Breakwaters 

      Sollitt, Charles K.; Cross, III, Ralph H. (Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory for Water Resources and Hydrodynamics, Department of Civil Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1972-03)
      Rubble mound breakwaters are designed to protect exposed marine areas from excessive wave activity. Observations of breakwaters interacting with surface waves in laboratory models and in full scale field applications ...

    • A Distributed Linear Representation of Surface Runoff 

      Maddaus, William O.; Eagleson, Peter S. (Cambridge, Mass. : Hydrodynamics Laboratory, Department of Civil Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1969-06)
      A distributed quasi-linear model of direct catchment runoff is developed consisting of cascades of linear reservoirs connected by linear channels. By fitting to the kinematic wave, the model parameters are expressed in ...

    • Mass Transport in Water Waves Part I: Theory 

      Mei, Chiang C.; Liu, Philip L-F. (Cambridge, Mass. Dept. of Civil Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1972-04)
      When a fluid is in periodic wave motion, a fluid particle is carried by a velocity field varying from place to place. At different instants the location of the particle differs and so does the velocity field in its immediate ...
