Evaluation of the performance of a taut-moored dual-body direct-drive waveenergy converter through numerical modeling and physical testing

Creator:: Elwood, David E.
Abstract:: With energy prices rising and increasing concern about the influence of fossil fuels on climate change, wave energy systems are on the verge of commercial implementation. These first generation wave energy converters utilize either pneumatics or hydraulics to convert the mechanical energy of waves into electricity. For the last several...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: journal papers. The conference paper provides an overview of the design and construction of the SeaBeavI

Flow visualization for wake formation under solitary wave flow

Creator:: Seiffert, Betsy Rose
Abstract:: The use of data extracted from particle image velocimetry (PIV) along with vector and tensor visualization techniques provides a valuable tool for understanding a complex flow field. By studying a simple geometric structure such as a cylinder under a simple transient waveform, fundamental mechanisms of wake development under solitary wave...

Nearshore hydrodynamic model comparisons and predictions of bathymetric evolution

Creator:: Lescinski, Jamie M.
Abstract:: The surf zone exhibits large energetic signals from wave shoaling and subsequent dissipation due to breaking, forcing circulation. The bathymetry responds to the wave and wave-induced circulation with the growth, transport, and destruction of large scale bathymetric features, such as mega ripples and sand bars. There is an obvious fluctuation...

A large scale model study of placed stone breakwaters

Creator:: DeBok, Donald H.
Abstract:: The results of three hydraulic model tests to evaluate the stability of a placed stone breakwater are presented and discussed. The prototype breakwater was designed to protect offshore power and port facilities in 60 feet of water and was tested at scale ratios of 1:10, 1:20, and 1:100. The armor...

Organizational factors in the reliability assessment of offshore systems

Creator:: Biondi, Esteban L.
Abstract:: The reliability of ocean systems is dependent on organizational factors. It has been shown that low probability / high consequence system failures are overwhelmingly induced by organizational factors. However, no methodology is yet widely accepted for the evaluation of this phenomenon or its accurate quantification. A qualitative complementary approach is...

Airphoto analysis of estuarine circulation

Creator:: Weise, Harry Gordon
Abstract:: Aerial photography has become a valuable method of acquiring information on estuarine current circulation patterns. The method provides a comprehensive picture of nearly simultaneous surface water movements. It represents a significant improvement over conventional surface float and current meter methods because large areas may be covered in great detail with...

An experimental study and a three-dimensional numerical wave basin model of solitary wave impact on a vertical cylinder

Creator:: Zhang, Wenbin
Abstract:: An experiment on solitary wave impact on a vertical cylinder was conducted in the three-dimensional wave basin at the Oregon State University Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory. The cylinder was designed using mechanic principles and finite element analysis techniques to enable accurate measurement of horizontal force and overturning moment. Video data...
