  1. 6. Wave transformation at a rock platform in Victoria, Australia - A study combining field measurements with numerical modelling

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Hanna Kowalczyk; [2016]
    Keywords : Wave dynamics; wave modelling; shore platform; rock coasts; EBED; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Even though a large part of the world's coastline consists of rocky shores, it is still a neglected field of study in coastal research. To increase the knowledge of wave transformation processes on these shores is important in order to understand erosional patterns and to manage coastal risks. READ MORE

  4. 8. Controls of seafloor depth on hydrothermal vent temperatures : prediction, observation & 2D finite element modeling

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Christine Andersen; [2010]
    Keywords : porous convection; compressible fluid flow; boiling; mixing; low heat supply; conductive heat flow; porös konvektion; kompressibelt flöde; kokning; blanding; lågtempererad värmekälla; konduktivt värmeflöde; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Circulation of hot hydrothermal fluids in fractures and faults of the oceanic crust is driven by temperature and pressure gradients. Fluid discharge is focused to vertical structures, black or white smoker chimneys on the seafloor. Hydrothermal vent temperatures should hypothetically be directly related to water depth. READ MORE
