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...

Large-scale laboratory observations of wave breaking turbulence on a fixed barred beach

Creator:

Scott, Christopher P.

Abstract:

This thesis presents the details of a large-scale laboratory experiment to study the turbulence generated by waves breaking on a fixed barred beach. The data set includes comprehensive measurements of free surface displacement and fluid velocity for one random and one regular wave case. Observations of the time-averaged turbulent kinetic...
