  • Wave Modeling Results: Baseline Observations and Modeling for the Reedsport Wave Energy Site

    Creator:
    Özkan-Haller, H. Tuba
    Abstract:
    Offshore wave conditions along the Oregon coastline are measured at a handful of buoy locations where directional wave information is available. Most of these buoys are located in deep waters and incoming waves undergo changes as they travel from deep water onto the shelf where wave energy conversion arrays are...

  • Physical-Environmental Effects of Wave and Offshore Wind Energy Extraction: A Synthesis of Recent Oceanographic Research

    Creator:
    Haller, Merrick C. and Özkan-Haller, H. Tuba
    Abstract:
    The ocean deployment of arrays of Wave Energy Converters (WEC arrays) appears likely in the near future, and deployment of offshore wind turbines has already started. These technologies tap into a potential renewable energy resource but also involve complex systems with uncertain environmental consequences that will likely scale with the...

  • Waves on unsteady currents

    Creator:
    Haller, Merrick C. and Özkan-Haller, H. Tuba
    Abstract:
    Models for surface gravity wave propagation in the presence of currents often assume the current field to be quasi-stationary, which implies that the absolute wave frequency is time invariant. However, in the presence of unsteady currents or time-varying water depth, linear wave theory predicts a time variation of the absolute...

  • Bathymetry correction using an adjoint component of a coupled nearshore wave-circulation model: Tests with synthetic velocity data

    Creator:
    Kurapov, Alexander L. and Özkan-Haller, H. Tuba
    Abstract:
    The impact of assimilation of wave-averaged flow velocities on the bathymetric correction is studied in tests with synthetic (model-generated) data using tangent-linear and adjoint components of a one-way coupled nearshore wave-circulation model. Weakly and strongly nonlinear regimes are considered, featuring energetic unsteady along-beach flows responding to time-independent wave-averaged forcing due...

  • Forcing and variability of nonstationary rip currents

    Creator:
    Long, J. W. and Özkan-Haller, H. Tuba
    Abstract:
    urface wave transformation and the resulting nearshore circulation along a section of coast with strong alongshore bathymetric gradients outside the surf zone are modeled for a consecutive 4 week time period. The modeled hydrodynamics are compared to in situ measurements of waves and currents collected during the Nearshore Canyon Experiment...

  • Effects of wave-current interaction on shear instabilities of longshore currents

    Creator:
    Özkan-Haller, H. Tuba and Li, Ye
    Abstract:
    We examine the effects of wave-current interaction on the dynamics of instabilities of the surf zone longshore current. We utilize coupled models for the simulation of the incident waves and the wave-induced nearshore circulation. The coupling between the models occurs through radiation stress gradient terms (accounting for the generation of...

  • Low-frequency characteristics of wave group-forced vortices

    Creator:
    Long, Joseph W. and Özkan-Haller, H. Tuba
    Abstract:
    The dynamics of vorticity motions forced by wave groups incident on an alongshore-uniform barred beach are analyzed. For both normally and obliquely incident wave groups, the potential vorticity and enstrophy equations reveal that the temporal variability of wave group–forced vortices is directly linked to the variability in the incoming wave...

  • Offshore controls on nearshore rip currents

    Creator:
    Long, Joseph W. and Özkan-Haller, H. Tuba
    Abstract:
    The rip current field resulting from the transformation of surface gravity waves over offshore submarine canyons is studied. Employing a wave transformation model and a wave-induced circulation model over observed bathymetry we find that wave height variations associated with undulations in the canyon contours cause rip current circulation cells with...

  • Ensemble-Based Data Assimilation for Estimation of River Depths

    Creator:
    Wilson, Greg and Özkan-Haller, H. Tuba
    Abstract:
    A method is presented for estimating bathymetry in a river, based on observations of depth-averaged velocity during steady flow. The estimator minimizes a cost function that combines known information in the form of a prior estimate and measured data (including measurement noise). State augmentation is used to relate the measured...
