IRREGULAR WAVE TRANSFORMATION ON MUD PROFILESINCLUDING THE FLUIDIZATION OF MUD LAYER

Wave attenuation and mud mass transport are two major phenomena of wave-mud interactionthat have received the most attentions during past decades. There have also been some effortsto formulate the fluidization of mud, based on the characteristics of the wave and undisturbedmud layer. Recently, the effect of irregularity has also been included in a number of studies(eg, [1], [2]). However, the fluidization of mud layer under irregular waves and theattenuation of irregular waves on mud profiles have not been studied yet.
