  • Observations of cross-shore sediment transport and formulation of the undertow

    Creator:
    Guannel, Gregory E.
    Abstract:
    A new set of data from a large-scale sand bar migration experiment is presented. During this experiment, two sandbars were generated. One of the bar was generated by the action of undertow, and sediment moved offshore. The other bar was generated by the shoreward movement of sediment coming from the...

  • Wave field patterns generated by wave energy converters

    Creator:
    McNatt, J. Cameron
    Abstract:
    The eventual deployment of wave energy converters (WECs) on a commercial scale will necessitate the grouping of devices into arrays or "wave farms," in order to minimize overhead costs of mooring, maintenance, installation, and electrical cabling for shoreward power delivery. Closely spaced WECs will interact hydrodynamically through diffracted and radiated...

  • Data assimilation for prediction of shallow water flows with uncertain bathymetry

    Creator:
    Wilson, Gregory W.
    Abstract:
    A new method is introduced for incorporating bathymetric uncertainty into predictions of nearshore and river flows (i.e., unstratified flows primarily forced by pressure and radiation stress gradients). The method involves the use of the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) as a parameter estimation scheme, where the parameter to be estimated is...
