Abstract: Measurements of surface waves from oceanographic buoys have been regarded as the “ground truth” for validation of sea-state prediction models, providing the basis for input to the design of offshore structures. The engineering ...

Abstract: Accurate surface wave prediction can potentially improve the safety and efficiency of various offshore operations, such as heavy lifts and active control of wave energy converters and floating wind turbines. Prediction of ...

Abstract: Phase-resolved wave prediction capability, even if only over two wave periods in advance, is of value for optimal control of wave energy converters, resulting in a dramatic increase in power generation efficiency. Previous ...

Abstract: Model testing is common in coastal and offshore engineering. The design of such model tests is important such that the maximal information of the underlying physics can be extrapolated with a limited amount of test cases. ...

Abstract: High wind speeds generated during hurricanes result in the formation of extreme waves. Extreme waves by nature are steep meaning that linear wave theory alone is insufficient in understanding and predicting their occurrence. ...

Abstract: Accurate and reliable phase-resolved prediction of ocean surface waves is crucial for many offshore operations in ocean engineering and marine science. One important application is in optimal control of a power take-off ...

Abstract: Accurate prediction of nonlinear wave loading is crucial for designing marine and offshore structures, yet it remains a challenging task. Prior research has primarily focused on unidirectional extreme sea states, revealing ...
