Steep. Short-Crested Waves and Related Phenomena
Steep, short-crested waves, as well as a large variety of three-dimensional propagating wave patterns have been created in laboratory, utilizing a plunging half-cone. Monochromatic waves, over a range of frequencies and amplitudes through breaking and including soliton wave groups near resonance, have been observed and studied in a small wave flume. This monochromatic wavemaker creates complex ...
متن کاملNearshore Tests of the Tidal Compensation System for Point-Absorbing Wave Energy Converters
The power production of the linear generator wave energy converter developed at Uppsala University is affected by variations of mean sea level. The reason is that these variations change the distance between the point absorber located on the surface and the linear generator located on the seabed. This shifts the average position of the translator with respect to the center of the stator, thereb...
متن کاملThe long-wave instability of short-crested waves, via embedding in the oblique two-wave interaction
The motivation for this work is the stability problem for short-crested Stokes waves. A new point of view is proposed, based on the observation that an understanding of the linear stability of short-crested waves (SCWs) is closely associated with an understanding of the stability of the oblique non-resonant interaction between two waves. The proposed approach is to embed the SCWs in a six-param...
متن کاملHeave Plate Dynamics for a Point Absorbing Wave Energy Converter
Wave energy converters (WECs) often include a submerged heave reaction plate located at a depth where the surrounding water is minimally disturbed by the passing surface waves. Heave plates provide a relatively stationary and artificially massive body to which WECs transfer the reactionary forces generated as their power-takeoffs (PTOs) resist the motion induced by the incoming waves. To date l...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Random Irregular Waves for Wave Generation in Laboratory Flumes
Understanding of wave hydrodynamics and its effects are important for engineers and scientists. Important insights may be gained from laboratory studies. Often the waves are simulated in laboratory flumes do not have the full characteristics of real sea waves. It is then necessary to present reliable methods of wave generation in wave flumes. In this paper, the results of numerically simulate...
