In the field of computer graphics, we have several research results to display the ocean waves on the screen, while we still not have a complete solution yet. Though ocean waves are constructed from a variety of sources, the dominant one is the surface gravity wave, which is generated by the gravity and the wind. In this paper, we present a real-time surface gravity wave simulation method, deri...

In this work we study analytically and numerically the performance of the mean heave motion of an OWC coupled with the governing equation of the spreading ocean waves due to the wide variation in an open parabolic channel with constant depth. This paper considers that the ocean wave propagation is under the assumption of a shallow flow condition. In order to verify the effect of the waves in th...

In Computer Graphics, existing ocean waves models still suffer from lack of realism and/or complexity of use essentially due to empirical definition of parameters by the user. In this paper, we propose an easy to use spectral ocean waves model whose parameters are obtained automatically from real world information. These parameters can be computed in two different ways. The first one makes use ...

In this study, we examine the role that remotely forced ocean waves play in the hydrodynamics of an intertidal, estuarine mudflat. The observations indicate that long-period (10–20 s) ocean waves are a potentially important source of near-bed energy and shear stress in this environment. Over a two-week period in February 2001, we deployed an autonomous SonTek Hydra system on a mudflat in Centra...

Calculations are presented of the rate of energy conversion of the barotropic tide into internal gravity waves above topography on the ocean floor. The ocean is treated as infinitely deep, and the topography consists of periodic obstructions; a Green function method is used to construct the scattered wavefield. The calculations extend the previous results of Balmforth et al. for subcritical top...

This paper concerns a development of a new efficient numerical model for the short term prediction of evolving weakly nonlinear ocean surface waves. By extending the works of West et al. 1 and Choi, and utilizing the fact that waves in the ocean tend to travel primarily in one direction, this new numerical model is derived based on additional assumption of a weak transverse dependence. The mode...

[1] The breaking of waves is an important mechanism for a number of physical, chemical and biological processes in the ocean. Intuitively, waves break when they become too steep. Unfortunately, a general consensus on the ultimate shape of waves has not been achieved yet due to the complexity of the breaking mechanism which still remains the least understood of all processes affecting waves. To ...
