2. 1. Numerical Modelling and Statistical Analysis of Ocean Wave Energy Converters and Wave Climates

   Author : Wei Li; Isberg Jan; Jens Peter Kofoed; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Wave power; Wave energy converter; Gravity-based foundation; Power absorption; Wave spectrum; Linear generator; Frequency domain; Wave climate; Ocean wave modelling; Mixed-distribution model; Bivariate distribution; Archimedean copula;

   Abstract : Ocean wave energy is considered to be one of the important potential renewable energy resources for sustainable development. Various wave energy converter technologies have been proposed to harvest the energy from ocean waves. This thesis is based on the linear generator wave energy converter developed at Uppsala University. READ MORE

4. 2. The Baltic Sea Wave Field : Impacts on the Sediment and Biogeochemistry

   Author : Anette Jönsson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Hydraulic engineering; HYPAS; Wave modelling; Significant wave height; Wave energy; Vattenteknik; Water engineering; Vattenteknik;

   Abstract : The wave field in the Baltic Sea has been modelled for a two-year period with the spectral wave model HYPAS. There is a large seasonal variation in the field and a minor annual one, both reflect the wind variation in the area. Since the Baltic Sea is fetch limited, the dominant wind direction is important for the maximum wave heights. READ MORE

   Abstract : The thesis deals mainly with modelling sea surface dynamics. We consider two different scales. READ MORE

7. 5. Swash Processes and Dune Erosion: Emphasis on Vessel-Generated Waves

   Author : Li Erikson; Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; marklära; kartografi; klimatologi; Civil engineering; hydraulic engineering; geomorfologi; Fysisk geografi; climatology; cartography; pedology; geomorphology; Naturvetenskap; Physical geography; Natural science; swash; erosion; vessel-generated waves; dunes; offshore technology; soil mechanics; Väg- och vattenbyggnadsteknik;

   Abstract : In navigable waterways, owing to the relatively short fetches for wind wave generation, the free waves generated by moving vessels often produce the dominant wave action with respect to erosion of the shore. In response to the fairly recent introduction of high-speed ferries, combined with a planned expansion within the passenger- and car-carrying ship market, the need to model and predict coastline changes as a result of exposure to vessel-generated waves has become a topic of increased research.
