  • Calibration, characterization, and linear quadratic Gaussian estimation of sensor feedback signals for a novel ocean wave energy linear test bed

    Creator:
    Haller, Christopher A.
    Abstract:
    Continual growth of the world's energy consumption and the demand for long-term clean renewable energy resources has led to the development of ocean-based wave energy technologies. Emerging technologies are advancing potential solutions to the complex problem of energy generation in the harsh and corrosive ocean environment. To develop these technologies,...

  • A frequency-domain approach to simulating wave energy converter hydrodynamics

    Creator:
    Simmons, Asher
    Abstract:
    Wave energy converter (WEC) devices are complicated systems containing hydrodynamic, mechanical, and electrical elements. WEC design efforts are primarily focused in the time-domain, using frequency-based energy analyses and numerical problem solving approaches that are staples in hydrodynamic design efforts to form the basic information set used in these time-domain development...

  • Grid emulator for wave energy converter testing

    Creator:
    Biligiri, Kaushal Kestur
    Abstract:
    Power generation has been an ever growing exigency since the invention of electric power. The world is gradually inching away from conventional generation toward renewable generation. Advancements in renewable energy generation have been at a steady positive pace over the past few decades with different resources developing to be feasible...

  • Wave modeling at the mouth of the Columbia River

    Creator:
    Kassem, Sarah
    Abstract:
    As the second largest river in the U.S., the entrance to the Columbia River is home to some of the most extreme wave conditions on the Pacific Coast. Winter storms commonly generate waves 6-8 m in height, which in combination with strong tidal currents, can produce dangerous navigation conditions. To...

  • Behavior of a compliant wave-current barrier

    Creator:
    Kerper, Dale R.
    Abstract:
    This study includes an analytical solution to the wave-current barrier interaction problem and large scale experiments to validate the theory. The boundary value problem is solved mathematically by characterizing the flow field and barrier motion separately, then coupling the relationships with the appropriate kinematic and dynamic boundary conditions. The flow...

  • An efficient high-performance computing based three-dimensional numerical wave basin model for the design of fluid-structure interaction experiments

    Creator:
    Nimmala, Seshu B.
    Abstract:
    Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) is an interesting and challenging interdisciplinary area comprised of fields such as engineering- fluids/structures/solids, computational science, and mathematics. FSI has several practical engineering applications such as the design of coastal infrastructure (such as bridges, levees) subjected to harsh environments from natural forces such as tsunamis, storm surges,...

  • Modeling studies of the coastal circulation off northern California

    Creator:
    Pullen, Julie D.
    Abstract:
    By implementing a series of mass-conserving nested high-resolution models down to approximately 1 km resolution that have realistic bathymetry, coastline, wind forcing and river run-off, the winter 1996-1997 shelf flow near Cape Mendocino, California, is simulated and compared with available observations from the Strata Formation on Margins (STRATAFORM) marine geology...

  • The effect of transverse shifts on the LIGO interferometer (simulation study)

    Creator:
    Fettig, Doug J.
    Abstract:
    The LIGO interferometers have reached their designed sensitivity level which is greater than any other interferometer ever built. At this point, it is important to have a proper understanding of small perturbations that might still exist (until now these issues did not come to the forefront because other more critical...

  • Development, performance evaluation and application of a physical model of the Kenyan-Tanzanian coastal region

    Creator:
    Mayorga Adame, Claudia Gabriela
    Abstract:
    A Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) application for the coastal region of Kenya and Tanzania (0-10° S, 38.7-46.98° E) was developed with the aim of better resolving the circulation patterns in the coastal region that is poorly represented in global models. The model has a horizontal resolution of 4 km,...
