Creator:: Sherman, Kate, Henkel, Sarah, and Webster, Janet
Abstract:: This project examined the information needs of those interested in the planning for marine renewable energy in Oregon. The objective was to recommend to Oregon State University’s Northwest National Marine Renewable Energy Center (NNMREC) an approach to facilitating sharing of relevant information concerning marine renewable energy in Oregon and Washington....

Creator:: Brown, Nicholas C.
Abstract:: The motion of floating objects are of importance to engineers and scientists in a range of applications. For example, in the design of ships and wave energy convertors and the study of debris mobilized by tsunamis. Measuring the movement of floating objects in the laboratory can be challenging. Six degrees...

Creator:: Kawase, Mitsuhiro, Beba, Patricia, and Fabien, Brian C.
Abstract:: Hypothetical power dissipation by a tidal in‐stream energy conversion device was calculated for Admiralty Inlet, Washington, a highly energetic entrance channel to Puget Sound and currently a candidate for tidal energy development. Power dissipation was calculated for a device of a given capacity as a function of hub height above...

Abstract:: Increasingly diverse interests in commercial and recreational use of marine resources are creating new challenges for coastal ocean management. One concern of increased offshore use and development off the Oregon coast is the potential impact on marine bird populations. We summarized the primary surveys of seabird breeding colonies and at-sea...

Abstract:: This document presents the results from discrete element method (DEM) simulations of interface shear compared to previously published data from similar physical experiments. Rough shafts emplaced in granular assemblies are subjected to monotonic and cyclic loading and the results evaluated. The granular‐continuum interface behavior for different anchor surface roughnesses is...

Creator:: Polagye, Brian L.
Abstract:: Reference Model #1 is a tidal turbine operating in a narrow, tidal channel. The site is a generalized version of Tacoma Narrows, Puget Sound, Washington. The resource is a mixed, mainly semidiurnal tidal regime with two ebbs and floods each day of unequal strength (i.e., a diurnal inequality in which...

Creator:: Conway, Flaxen D. L., Stefanovich, Maria, Stevenson, John, Yin, Yao, Campbell, Holly V., Hunter, Daniel A., and Covell, Zack
Abstract:: In 2007, the Oregon Wave Energy Trust (OWET) put out a request for proposals to begin to discover answers to many of the environmental and human dimensions questions. A multidisciplinary group of social scientists – Flaxen Conway, Brent Steel, Michael Harte, and Bryan Tilt, Oregon State University – responded to...

Creator:: Henkel, Sarah K., Haxel, Joseph H., Schultz, Adam, and Hofford, Anna
Abstract:: The first wave energy test at the Northwest National Marine Renewable Energy Center’s (NNMREC) North Energy Test Site (NETS) off the coast of Newport, OR took place in 2012 with the deployment of the WET-NZ wave energy conversion (WEC) device and the Ocean Sentinel instrumentation buoy. The WET-NZ and Ocean...
