The main goal of this paper is to provide insights into swash flow dynamics, generated by a non-breaking solitary wave on steep slope. Both laboratory experiments and numerical simulations are conducted investigate the details runup rundown processes. Special attention given evolution bottom boundary layer over slope in terms separation, vortex formation development hydraulic jump during phase. Laboratory were performed measure velocity fields means high-speed particle image velocimetry...
The characteristics of flow fields for a complete evolution the non-breaking solitary wave, having wave-height to water-depth ratio 0.363 and propagating over 1:5 sloping bottom, are investigated experimentally. This study mainly focuses on occurrences both separation boundary layer under an adverse pressure gradient subsequent hydraulic jump with abrupt rising free surface during rundown motion shoaling together emphasis vortex structures underlying separated shear jump. A visualization...
Experimental results are presented regarding the free-surface elevations, velocity fields, and horizontal pressure gradients of dambreak-generated undular bores propagating over a bottom. Ultrasonic wave gauges, high-speed particle image velocimetry, flow visualization method used to investigate fields. Features full-depth field gradient (equal minus sum local convective accelerations) in free stream boundary layer elucidated with respect phase elevation categorized into four temporal...
An experimental investigation is performed to elucidate the variations of accelerations and pressure gradients in external stream retreating flow during run-down phase a non-breaking solitary wave, propagating over 1:3 sloping beach. Two waves that have incident wave heights (H0) 2.9 5.8 cm, with respective still water depths (h0) 8.0 16.0 cm (Cases A B), were generated flume, resulting wave-height water-depth ratios (H0/h0) being identically equal 0.363. The latter case was only used...
An experimental results on the spatio-temporal variation of velocity field and vortex structure, generated from separated boundary layers offshore side still-water shoreline, during run-down process non-breaking solitary waves over a 1:3 sloping beach are presented. Three having incident wave-height to water-depth ratios (H0/h0) 0.363, 0.263, 0.171 were in wave flume. Two flow visualization techniques high-speed particle image velocimetry employed. The primary topics new findings are: (1)...
In this work, a detailed description of the internal flow field in collapsing bore generated on slope wave flume is given. It found that case at hand, just prior to breaking, shape free surface and below are dominated by capillary effects. While numerical approximations able predict development as it shoals laboratory beach, poorly predicted standard models.
The hydrodynamic characteristics, including local and convective accelerations as well pressure gradient in the horizontal direction, of external stream an undular bore propagating on a 1:20 sloping beach are experimentally studied.

The study uses 30 years of the third generation Advanced Very-High-Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) NDVI3g monthly data from 1982 to 2012 identify natural clusters and important driving factors upstream watersheds in Taiwan through hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) redundancy (RDA), respectively. Subsequently, as a result HCA, six were identified based on NDVI data, delineating unique characteristics watersheds. Additionally, RDA results, environmental factors, including precipitation,...
