Near-Surface Orbital Velocities in Irregular Waves
Coastal Engineering 1986, 1986 The paper deals with measurements of horizontal orbital velocities near the surface of mechanically generated waves in a wave flume. Due to the characteristics of most velocity probes, it is difficult or impossible to measure with a fixed probe in the area above the lowest trough. As the probe is not submerged continuously, failures or uncertainties in

Study on the Performance of the “Pendulor” Wave Energy Converter in an Array Configuration
Energies, 2016 For over three decades the “Pendulor” wave energy device has had a significant influence in this field, triggering several research endeavours. It includes a top-hinged flap propelled by the standing waves produced in a caisson with a back wall on the ...

Modelling of Waves for the Design of Offshore Structures
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020 For the design of structures we need to select design safety levels to ensure structures shall safely operate and not collapse. These levels are given in relevant safety standards.

Investigations on Irregular Waves in Hydraulic Models
Coastal Engineering 1980, 1980 The first part of the paper deals with some aspects of wave generation by mechanical wave-generators, especially with hydraulic transfer functions for pusher movement of the paddle, and the influences of signal characteristics and analysis methods. In the second part, results of measurements of orbital velocities and pressures in irregular waves are ...

IRREGULAR WAVE LOADING ON A CONICAL STRUCTURE
Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 1988 The horizontal forces, vertical forces and overturning moments exerted by waves on a fixed model of a 45" conical structure are presented. Irregular wave loading tests were conducted for a range of conditions described by base diameter on peak period wave length D/Lp from 0.31 to 1.76, water depth on peak period wave length h/Lp from 0.11 to 0.63, and ...

Transformation of Irregular Waves in Shoaling Water
Coastal Engineering 1974, 1974 In the numerical method of prediction of wind waves in deep water, Hasselmann's nonlinear interaction theory is applied. This method assumes the energy balance of individual component waves. However, the total energy balance must exist in the transformation of irregular waves in shoaling water. In this investigation, experiments were carried out on the

Langevin equation approach to granular flows in narrow pipes
, 1998 The flow of granular material through a rough narrow pipe is described by the Langevin equation formalism. The stochastic force is caused by irregular interaction between the wall and the granular particles.

Irregular Wave Tests for Composite Breakwater Foundations
Coastal Engineering 1982, 1982 The stability of armor units for the rubble mound foundations of composite breakwaters has been investigated under the action of irregular waves. The tests establish that irregular waves are more destructive than regular waves, when the height of regular waves is set equal to the significant wave height.
