Numerical Simulation of Wave Field at the Kemena River Mouth in Kalimantan Island

-By use of the parabolic equation of numerical simulation of wave which is suitable forlarge-angle propagation and Crank-Nicolson differential method,the wave field at the Kemema Rivermouth has been studied for analysis of sediment movement in the area.In order to reflect wave energy lossaccurately,the Bretchneider-Reid formula is quoted and the friction coefficient in the formula is discussedin this paper.The calculation results indicate that the wave becomes a little damped at the mouth ofKemena River influenced by the topography and bottom friction,and the wave at the east beach is higherthan that at the west beach,because the east beach extends out.

YAM@NAM 2007

Delegates at the simultaneous National Astronomy Meeting, UK Solar Physics meeting and Spring MIST meeting were impressed by the warm welcome and efficient organization from the hosts, the University of Central Lancaster in Preston. The meetings were successful in terms of the number of participants and the breadth and depth of science discussed, but also in terms of the spread of that science across the media.

In the Mountain''''s Shadow: Japan''''s Silk Reelers Blazed an Asian Path of Economic Development

1 Introduction: A Dissonant Fragment On entering Chichibu, many visitors feel as if they were passing through a time warp into another country or a bygone era as the train leaves behind Tokyo抯crowded suburbs and winds through steep slopes forested with oaks, beeches and cedars. The Oku Chichibu highlands, however, are a mere 70 kilometers northwest of Tokyo, or about 50 minutes by rail, less than the average two-hour of daily commute of 搒alarymen?within metropolitan area. The sense of s…
