WFM 6305 : Coastal Zone Management

Homework 1

(1)Review the articles in ‘Paper Compilation Series, Series 1, Volume 1, Papers in Coastal Zone Management and Engineering’ (available in IWFM library), and submit a one-page summary of your review on “Role of indicators in integrated coastal zone management”.You must provide references at appropriate places to support your summary. [Typewritten on A4 size paper, 12 pt. TNR, 1.15 line spacing, 1-inch page margins.]

(2)The wave period for anH ft high deep water wave is T sec (see the Table below).

(a)What is the deep water wavelength?

(b)What are the wavelengths in 20, 18 and 15 ft deep water?

(c)What is the wave celerity in deep water?

(d)What are the wave celerities in 20, 18 and 15 ft deep water?

(e)Will the waves break in 20, 18 and 15 ft deep water?

Assume  = 0o.

Present your known values and final results in tabular form (H, T, o, d, L, etc.)

Use appropriate values of H, T and ofrom the following table:

Roll No. / H (ft) / αo(degree) / T (sec)
