Response of Point-Absorbing Wave Energy Conversion System in 50-Years Return Period Extreme Focused Waves

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021
This work evaluates the survivability of a point-absorbing wave energy converter at sea states along and inside the 50-year environmental contour for a selected-site in North Sea, by utilizing CFD simulations.

Travelling Breaking Waves

open access: yesBulletin of the South Ural State University. Series "Mathematical Modelling, Programming and Computer Software", 2023
Summary: We study a mathematical model of coastal waves in the shallow water approximation. The model contains two empirical parameters. The first one controls turbulent dissipation. The second one is responsible for the turbulent viscosity and is determined by the turbulent Reynolds number. We study travelling waves solutions to this model.

An empirical method to identify breaking waves [PDF]

open access: yesRBRH
In this paper we propose a method to identify breaking waves in shallow water. The method takes the local surface elevation time series and creates a new time series computed from the local energy spectrum using the wavelet transform of the input signal ...

The Accelerations of a Wave Measurement Buoy Impacted by Breaking Waves in the Surf Zone

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021
A spherical wave measurement buoy capable of detecting breaking waves has been designed and built. The buoy is 16 inches in diameter and houses a 9 degree of freedom inertial measurement unit (IMU).

Tropical Cyclone Modeling With the Inclusion of Wave‐Coupled Processes: Sea Spray and Wave Turbulence

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2023
Waves critically modulate the air‐sea fluxes, and upper‐ocean thermodynamics in a Tropical Cyclone (TC) system. This study improves the modeling of TC intensification by incorporating non‐breaking wave‐induced turbulence and sea spray from breaking waves

Wave Spectrum of Breaking Waves

open access: yesCoastal Engineering 1976, 1976
By wave breaking, an incident monocromatic wave is transformed to a wave composed of its harmonic frequency waves inside a surf zone. Based on a dimensional consideration, the "-1 power law ", the "-2 power law ", the "-2/3 power law " and the "-1/2 power law " on the wave height spectrum ,H(f), are derived as sorts of equilibrium spectra.

Investigation of symmetry breaking in periodic gravity-capillary waves [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In this paper, fully nonlinear non-symmetric periodic gravity capillary waves propagating at the surface of an inviscid and incompressible fluid are investigated. This problem was pioneered analytically by 7ufiria (J. Fluid Mech., vol.
