Observation of nonlinear dispersion relation and spatial statistics of wave turbulence on the surface of a fluid [PDF]
, 2010 We report experiments on gravity-capillary wave turbulence on the surface of a fluid. The wave amplitudes are measured simultaneously in time and space using an optical method. The full space-time power spectrum shows that the wave energy is localized on

Wave powered desalination [PDF]
Desalination, 1987 Abstract This paper presents a novel form of vapour compression desalination unit driven directly by ocean waves. The process is described in two sections; that pertaining to distillation and that to feed preheating. Ideas for utilising wave energy in a secondary heat pump cycle for feed preheating are presented.
