  1. 1. Extreme wave conditions and the impact on wave energy converters

    Författare :Eirini Katsidoniotaki; Malin Göteman; Vincent Neary; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; extreme waves; wave energy converters; CFD; OpenFOAM; environmental contours; focused waves; breaking waves;

    Sammanfattning : The amount of energy enclosed in ocean waves has been classified as one of the most promising renewable energy sources. Nowadays, different wave energy conversion (WEC) systems are being investigated, but only a few concepts have been operated in a sea environment. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Nonlinear Interaction Between Ultrasonic Waves and Cracks and Interfaces

    Författare :Milan Poznic; Leif Kari; Bruce Drinkwater; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; ultrasonic waves; crack; modulation; rough interface; partially closed; surface-breaking; fluid-filled; Acoustics; Akustik;

    Sammanfattning : The subject of this thesis is the development of new ultrasound inspection techniques for detection of cracks that are smaller than the wavelength of the inspecting wave and the characterization of cracks in fluid-filled pipes as either surface-breaking or subsurface. The spectrum of the scattered field of a partially closed crack comprises harmonic components not expected to be found in the case of linear scatterers such as pores or inclusions. LÄS MER

  4. 3. On some Nonlinear Aspects of Wave Motion

    Författare :Erik Wahlén; Partiella differentialekvationer; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; water waves; bifurcation; global existence; rod equation; wabve breaking;

    Sammanfattning : In the first part of this thesis we consider the governing equations for capillary water waves given by the Euler equations with a free surface under the influence of surface tension over a flat bottom. We look for two-dimensional steady periodic waves. The problem is first transformed to a nonlinear elliptic equation in a rectangle. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Introducing Surface Gravity Waves into Earth System Models

    Författare :Lichuan Wu; Anna Rutgersson; Erik Sahlée; Peter Janssen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Surface gravity waves; Air-sea interaction; Earth-System Model; Atmospheric mixing; Upper-ocean turbulence; Meteorologi; Meteorology;

    Sammanfattning : Surface gravity waves alter the turbulence of the bottom atmosphere and the upper ocean. Accordingly, they can affect momentum flux, heat fluxes, gas exchange and atmospheric mixing. However, in most state-of-the-art Earth System Models (ESMs), surface wave influences are not fully considered or even included. LÄS MER
