  • On the nearshore impact of wave energy converter arrays

    Creator:
    O'Dea, Annika Magnuson
    Abstract:
    Radiation stresses, defined as the excess flow of momentum due to the presence of waves (Longuet-Higgins, 1964), are the main drivers behind the cross-shore and longshore forcing that results in wave setup, set-down, and longshore currents (e.g. Svendsen, 2006). Longshore currents entrain and transport sediment and therefore play an important...

  • Analysis of waves in the near-field of wave energy converter arrays through image processing

    Creator:
    Black, Colleen
    Abstract:
    Oregon State University conducted a series of laboratory experiments to measure and quantify the near-field wave effects caused within arrays of Wave Energy Converters (WEC). As the waves and WECs interact, the WECs generate radiated waves; these effects vary with the location within the array. Analyzing the near-field waves will...

  • On the Imaging of Rip Currents in X-band Radar

    Creator:
    Kloster, Rebecca
    Abstract:
    Rip currents pose a serious danger to visitors of bathing beaches; they are also an important process in surf zone circulation. Haller et al. [2014] demonstrated that shore-based X-band radar can be used to compliment in situ measurements of rip currents. However, little is known of the underlying radar imaging...

  • Laboratory observations and numerical modeling of the effects of an array of wave energy converters

    Creator:
    Porter, Aaron K.
    Abstract:
    This thesis investigates the effects of wave energy converters (WECs) on water waves through the analysis of extensive laboratory experiments, as well as subsequent numerical simulations. Data for the analysis was collected during the WEC-Array Experiments performed at the O.H. Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory at Oregon State University, under co-operation...
