Morphological variability of embayed beaches along the catalan coast
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2011-06-29)
Master thesis
Open AccessNatural and man made embayment beaches are a common feature along the Catalan coast. Many of these embayment beaches have experience changes in shoreline position jeopardizing the protective and recreational functions of ... -

(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2011-06-16)
Master thesis
Open AccessReal coastal waves measured at 4 different locations in the world were analyzed in detail. Long travelled swell measured in the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, wind swell from the Atlantic coast of Costa Rica, short period ... -
Twin Storm Events: A probability analysis and risk evaluation of twin storm occurrences along the coast of Catalonia
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2010-06-08)
Master thesis
Open AccessThe concept of a twin storm refers to two sequential storm wave heights that are separated by a short period of calm water. In the past, these have often been regards as one storm with a ‘double peak’ or as two independent ... -
Adaptation of Second Order Wavemaker Theories to the CIEMito Wave Flume
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2010-06-16)
Master thesis
Open AccessCoastal engineering deals with complex systems that involve processes that are not fully understood. Physical modeling has become an important tool in the study of these processes. It allows researchers to control the ... -
Analysys of hydrodinamic transformation around a Low crested permeable structure
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2010-06-04)
Master thesis
Open AccessThe aim of this research project was to increase the knowledge about the hydrodynamic processes that take place around a permeable Low-Crested Structure (LCS) when this structure is under wave attack. Further, the intention ... -

(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2010-06-04)
Master thesis
Open AccessFound on the NW Mediterranean, the Catalan coast is not only subjected to morphological changes driven by physical natural processes but also by significant changes in local dynamics that result from the numerous coastal ... -
Improving surfing conditions with floating wave filters
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2009-06-16)
Master thesis
Open AccessThe objective of this thesis is to introduce Floating Wave Filters (FWF), which are floating structures anchored to the sea bottom that aim to block short-period waves and transmit long-period waves in order to improve ...
