Model Predictive Control for Underwater Robots in Ocean Waves
Underwater robots beneath ocean waves can benefit from feedforward control to reduce position error. This paper proposes a method using Model Predictive Control (MPC) to predict and counteract future disturbances from an ocean wave field. The MPC state estimator employs a Linear Wave Theory (LWT) solver to approximate the component fluid dynamics under a wave field. Wave data from deployed ocea...
متن کاملEconomic Valuation of Beach Erosion Control Programs
In this study, we employ a choice-based conjoint survey design to elicit individual choices of beach erosion control programs that can potentially cause multiple effects on beach environment. Two empirical choice models which incorporate individual heterogeneity, are used to analyze and compare the elicited individual choices of erosion control programs. Our results show that to a typical indiv...
متن کاملRefraction of dispersive shock waves
We study a dispersive counterpart of the classical gas dynamics problem of the interaction of a shock wave with a counter-propagating simple rarefaction wave often referred to as the shock wave refraction. The dispersive shock wave (DSW) refraction due to its head-on collision with the centred rarefaction wave (RW) is considered in the frameworks of the one-dimensional defocusing nonlinear Schr...
متن کاملAn holistic approach to beach erosion vulnerability assessment.
Erosion is a major threat for coasts worldwide, beaches in particular, which constitute one of the most valuable coastal landforms. Vulnerability assessments related to beach erosion may contribute to planning measures to counteract erosion by identifying, quantifying and ranking vulnerability. Herein, we present a new index, the Beach Vulnerability Index (BVI), which combines simplicity in cal...
