Ocean swell within the kinetic equation for water waves [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Effects of wave-wave interactions on ocean swell are studied. Results of extensive simulations of swell evolution within the duration-limited setup for the kinetic Hasselmann equation at long times up to $10^6$ seconds are presented.

Variability of the winter wind waves and swell in the North Atlantic and North Pacific as revealed by the Voluntary Observing Ship data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
This paper analyses secular changes and interannual variability in the wind wave, swell, and significant wave height (SWH) characteristics over the North Atlantic and North Pacific on the basis of wind wave climatology derived from the visual wave ...

Wave Overtopping over Coastal Structures with Oblique Wind and Swell Waves

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2018
Most guidelines on wave overtopping over coastal structures are based on conditions with waves from one direction only. Here, wave basin tests with oblique wave attack are presented where waves from one direction are combined with waves from another ...

Determining the unsaturated hydraulic conductivity of a compacted sand-bentonite mixture under constant volume and free-swell conditions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Highly compacted sand-bentonite mixtures are often considered as possible engineered barriers in deep high-level radioactive waste disposals. In-situ, the saturation of these barriers from their initially unsaturated state is a complex hydro-mechanical ...

Assessment of Ocean Swell Height Observations from Sentinel-1A/B Wave Mode against Buoy In Situ and Modeling Hindcasts

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2022
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) in wave mode is a powerful tool for monitoring sea states in terms of long-period ocean swells of a specific wave directional partition. Since 2016, SARs aboard Sentinel-1A/B operating in wave mode have provided ocean swell

Preliminary assessment of near-shorewave energy potential in the Mozambique Channel

open access: yesJournal of Water and Climate Change, 2023
This paper presents the results of a study of ocean wave energy in the Mozambique Channel, an open channel located in the Western Indian Ocean and oriented north-southwards.

A global climatology of wind–wave interaction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Generally, ocean waves are thought to act as a drag on the surface wind so that momentum is transferred downwards, from the atmosphere into the waves.

Semi-empirical dissipation source functions for ocean waves: Part I, definition, calibration and validation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
New parameterizations for the spectra dissipation of wind-generated waves are proposed. The rates of dissipation have no predetermined spectral shapes and are functions of the wave spectrum and wind speed and direction, in a way consistent with ...

Evaluating the exit pressure method for measurements of normal stress difference at high shear rates [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
A challenge for polymer rheology is the reliable determination of shear dependent first normal stress difference (N-1 values) at high shear rates (>10 s(-1)).
