Experimental Investigation of Effects of Coastal Morphology on N-Waves
Experimental Investigation of Effects of Coastal Morphology on N-Waves
A Leading Depression N-wave
which consists of a negative and a positive amplitude solitary wave was
generated with the help of a special designed wave pallet at Istanbul Technical
University Hydraulic Laboratory. In addition, generated N-Wave was verified by
using verification of related analytical equations. Furthermore, the wave flume
was narrowed by narrowing angles of 5°, 10° and 15° for analogy to
morphology changes in coastal areas. It was determined that water level
differences and phase shifts occurred to the narrowing effects.
