Book Synopsis Estimates of the Power Spectra for Fully Developed Seas for Wind Speeds of 20 to 40 Knots by : New York University. Department of Meteorology and Oceanography
Download or read book Estimates of the Power Spectra for Fully Developed Seas for Wind Speeds of 20 to 40 Knots written by New York University. Department of Meteorology and Oceanography and published by . This book was released on 1963 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Various criteria pertaining to the synoptic situation are presented in order to determine when a fully developed wind-generated sea might be found in the North Atlantic Ocean. 460 wave records, corresponding to various synoptic situations, were digitized and spectrally analyzed as a first step in the preparation of a climatology of ocean wave spectra. The wave records were taken by the Ocean Weather Ships of the United Kingdom by means of a Tucker shipborne wave recorder. Selected subsets from the available spectra based on these synoptic criteria were averaged in order to produce spectra for various wind speeds. These selected subsets were tested to see if they came from the same population by means of the KolmogorovSmirnov test, and the results show that, within the accuracy to be expected because of inaccuracies in the winds, the samples chosen represent fully developed seas. A second subset chosen at random without using these criteria was tested and the results showed that wind speed alone does not properly characterize the sea state. (Author).

Download or read book Wave Hindcast Project North Atlantic Ocean written by Donald Charles Bunting and published by . This book was released on 1966 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A computerized system has been developed for the production of ocean wave spectra over the North Atlantic Ocean. The spectra results are fairly close to observed conditions. By means of this system a 15-month series of wave spectra has been obtained at 519 gridpoints over the North Atlantic. Each spectrum is described in terms of the spectral energy in 12 directions for 15 different frequencies. (Author).
Book Synopsis Wave Mechanics for Ocean Engineering by : Paolo Boccotti
Download or read book Wave Mechanics for Ocean Engineering written by Paolo Boccotti and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2000-07-28 with total page 521 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a unitary way, this monograph deals with a wide range of subjects related to the mechanics of sea waves. The book highlights recent theoretical results on the dynamics of random wind-generated waves, on long-term wave statistics, and on beach planform evolution. A fresh approach is given to more traditional concepts. For example, new evidence from a recent series of small-scale field experiments is used to introduce some crucial topics like wave forces. Also, the book gives some worked examples for the design of offshore or coastal structures. An exciting subject dealt with in the book is the quasi-deterministic mechanics of three-dimensional wave groups in sea storms, and the loads exerted by these wave groups on offshore structures.The text is intended for researchers and graduate students in ocean engineering, but may also be understood by undergraduates. The more complex concepts are explained with examples or more extensive case studies.

Book Synopsis Hydrodynamics of Ocean Wave-Energy Utilization by : David V. Evans
Download or read book Hydrodynamics of Ocean Wave-Energy Utilization written by David V. Evans and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The papers which follow were presented at an International Sym posium held in Lisbon from 8-11 July 1985 on the Hydrodynamics of Ocean Wave-Energy Utilization and sponsored by the Interna tional Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics. The subject of the Symposium embraced wave statistics, numerical methods, theoretical, experimental and field studies of wave energy devices. The idea of extracting useful energy from ocean waves continues to attract the curiosity of scientists and engineers in many parts of the world as the following papers indicate. Increasing ly the trend is towards smaller devices suitable for use near remote island communities where wave power, as an alternative to costly diesel fuel for electric generators, is already very competitive in economic terms. The decision to build two different prototype wave-power devices into the cliffs off Bergen in Norway has provided a welcome impetus to the field, stimulating a large amount of theoretical work on oscillating water column-type devices. In particular phase control methods - in which force and velocity of a rigid body, or pressure and volume flux across a turbine are matched in phase to achieve maximum power output - rightfully occupy a central place in the papers that follow. In addition to the established workers in the field, a new ge neration of wave-energy enthusiasts is emerging, learning from the mistakes of others and contributing exciting ideas of both a conceptual and practical nature.
Book Synopsis Underwater Acoustic Modeling and Simulation by : Paul C. Etter
Download or read book Underwater Acoustic Modeling and Simulation written by Paul C. Etter and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 557 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Underwater Acoustic Modeling and Simulation, Fourth Edition continues to provide the most authoritative overview of currently available propagation, noise, reverberation, and sonar-performance models. This fourth edition of a bestseller discusses the fundamental processes involved in simulating the performance of underwater acoustic systems and emphasizes the importance of applying the proper modeling resources to simulate the behavior of sound in virtual ocean environments. New to the Fourth Edition Extensive new material that addresses recent advances in inverse techniques and marine-mammal protection Problem sets in each chapter Updated and expanded inventories of available models Designed for readers with an understanding of underwater acoustics but who are unfamiliar with the various aspects of modeling, the book includes sufficient mathematical derivations to demonstrate model formulations and provides guidelines for selecting and using the models. Examples of each type of model illustrate model formulations, model assumptions, and algorithm efficiency. Simulation case studies are also included to demonstrate practical applications. Providing a thorough source of information on modeling resources, this book examines the translation of our physical understanding of sound in the sea into mathematical models that simulate acoustic propagation, noise, and reverberation in the ocean. The text shows how these models are used to predict and diagnose the performance of complex sonar systems operating in the undersea environment.
Book Synopsis Surface Waves and Fluxes by : G.L. Geernaert
Download or read book Surface Waves and Fluxes written by G.L. Geernaert and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the Conference on Air-Sea Interaction in January 1986, it was suggested to me by David Larner of Reidel Press that it may be timely for an updated compendium of air-sea interaction theory to be organized, developed, and published. Many new results were emerging at the time, i.e., results from the MARSEN, MAS EX, MILDEX, and TOWARD field projects (among others) were in the process of being reported and/or published. Further, a series of new experiments such as FASINEX and HEXOS were soon to be conducted in which new strides in our knowledge of air-sea fluxes would be made. During the year following the discussions with David Larner, it became apparent that many of the advances in air-sea interaction theory during the 1970s and 1980s were associated with sponsor investments in satellite oceanography and, in particular, remote sensing research. Since ocean surface remote sensing, e.g., scatterometry and SAR, requires intimate knowledge of ocean surface dynamics, advances in remote sensing capabilities required coordinated research in air-sea fluxes, wave state, scattering theory, sensor design, and data exploitation using environmental models. Based on this interplay of disciplines, it was decided that this book be devoted to air sea interaction and remote sensing as multi-disciplinary activities.
