Application of mathematical modelling for assessment of nearshore wave climate

Ranasinghe, DPL [SRC-Report]

In Sri Lanka, nearshore wave climate is influenced by the simultaneous occurrence of swell waves approaching from a more or less southerly direction and sea waves mainly influenced by monsoonal weather pattern. Some ...
Assessing Tsunami hazard and mitigation measures

Karunathilaka, AVAU [Thesis-Abstract]

The Indian Ocean Tsunami in 2004 caused widespread damage in the coastal regions of Sri Lanka. The extent of inundation and the associated damage varied significantly with the local near shore wave height, topography and ...
Assessment of Tsunami and storm surge impact mitigation by coastal vegetation

Manawasekara, RBCD [Thesis-Abstract]

The devastation caused by the Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004 and subsequent tsunami alerts in 2005 and 2007 as well as the historical records of possible tsunamis in the past have highlighted the vulnerability of the country ...
Coastal and environmental impacts arising from major coastal infrastructure development projects

Soysa, VAN [Thesis-Abstract]

Sri Lanka being an island state, strategically located in the Indian Ocean, has a high potential for the developments of its economy in the coastal zone. During the reason past, there have been major development projects ...
Coastal engineering impacts of the proposed Sethusamudran ship channel project

Gunawardena, MJA [Thesis-Abstract]

Abstract Under the Sethusamudram Ship Canal Project (SSCP), the State Government of India will construct a 260 km long shipping canal one section 120 km long from Tuticorin Port to Adam's Bridge, and another 140 km long ...
Development of an analytical model to studywave motion to through porough porous vertical to coastalstructures

Samarasekara, MMPD [Thesis-Abstract]

This study is concerned with the development of an analytical model to predict wave reflection and transmission characteristics of porous, vertical coastal structures. Because of the complexity of the problem the study was ...
Hydro-geotechnical behaviour of porous coastal structures

Ratnasooriya, AHR [Thesis-Abstract]

Theoretical modeling of the flow field in the vicinity of a porous coastal structure was carried out to investigate the hydro-geotechnical behaviour of such a structure. The area of interest consists of the regions in front ...
Improved tusnami wave height forecasting – an integrated approach for the analysis of results from early warning systems and inundation modelling for risk assessment

Hettiarachchi, SSL; Ratnasooriya, AHR; Samarasekera, RSM [SRC-Report]

A Tsunami Warning System must alert all persons on every vulnerable coast of imminent danger, covered by the system. The response of such a system must be rapid (as soon as possible), accurate (minimize false warning), ...
Investigations on coastal sediment transport and shoreline behaviour

Ansaf, KMM [Thesis-Abstract]

The ever-increasing economical and environmental considerations of coastal areas have provoked further studies of the variety of processes taking place in the coastal zone. This thesis elaborates a study conducted to ...
Tsunami impact mitigation by coastal vegetation

Bandara, RPSS [Thesis-Abstract]

The Indian Ocean Tsunami in 2004 caused widespread damage in the coastal regions of Sri Lanka. The extent of inundation and the associated damage varied significantly with the local near shore wave height, topography and ...
