Creator:: García-Castaño, Manuel
Abstract:: This study presents a methodology for power take off (PTO) forecasting for an array of heave wave energy converters (WECs). Based on spectral data obtained directly from the National Data Buoy Center, representative realistic sea states are generated at the location of the WECs, and by using two wave-structure interaction...

Creator:: Ellenson, Ashley N.
Abstract:: In this study, the effects of implementing different wind input or physics packages in a numerical wave model to recreate large wave conditions are explored. Three large wave events are simulated with WaveWatch III. The wind inputs which are compared are NCEP's Global Forecasting System (GFS) with 0.5 degree resolution...

Creator:: Dunkle, Gabrielle R.
Abstract:: Wave energy has the potential to power large and small factions of economies around the world alike. Current methods for determining the amount of wave energy resource available to wave energy converter (WEC) devices entail capturing the look of the sea state at large by presenting characteristic wave heights, periods,...

Creator:: Oskamp, Jeffrey A.
Abstract:: Knowledge of wave conditions in nearshore regions supports the development of ocean wave energy technology by providing wave climatology for device design considerations, and power output estimates. By modeling wave transformation over the continental shelf, wave conditions were predicted in nearshore regions where potential wave energy conversion sites are located....

Creator:: Skitka, Joseph M.
Abstract:: Predominant models for predicting rates of sediment transport face acute shortcomings when applied to coastal boundary layers. This is due to a neglect of the web of stochastic variables governing the rate of sediment dislodgement. While stochastic models do exist, the parametric extent of their validity tends to be limited,...
