The applicability of the wave propagation model of higher-order Boussinesq equations derived by Zou (2000, Ocean Engineering, 27, 557 - 575) is investigated. Physical experiments are conducted; three different front slopes (1:10, 1 = 5 and 1:2) of the shelf are set-up in the experiment and their effects on the wave propagation are investigated. Comparisons of the numerical results with test data are made and the higher-order Boussinesq equations agree well with the measurements since the dispersion of the model is of high accuracy. The numerical results show that the good results can also be obtained for the steep-slope cases although the mild-slope assumption is employed in the derivation of the higher-order terms in the higher-order Boussinesq equations.展开更多

The maximum servicetemperature of the product is 800 deg C; linear shrinkage after 800 deg C X 16 h firing is 0.9percent; the cold crushing strength is 1.56 MPa; the flexural strength at ambient temperature is0.81 MPa; the thermal conductivity at ambient temperature (25 deg C) is 0.056 and 0.128 W/(m centredot K) at 800 deg C. The production cost of such a composite is only 1/3 of that of the normalxonotlite thermal insulators. It can substitute the normal xonotlite thermal insulators on mostoccasions with a similar cost to that of normal perlite products.展开更多
