Download or read book Generation of Water Waves by Turbulent Wind Flow written by Paul Richard Klinedinst (Jr) and published by . This book was released on 1968 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paper is concerned with a theoretical study of shearing flow bounded by a wavy surface with consideration of turbulent flow above the air-sea interface. Account is to be taken of turbulence in the flow through the use of Reynolds stresses associated with turbulent flow. An adaptation of the mixing length theory as applied to pipe flow is made for channel flow and the resulting mixing length versus energy relationship is incorporated in the Reynolds stress term. Finally, the rate of wave growth is calculated from the normal surface pressure in phase with the wave slope. A curvilinear coordinate system which follows with the wave train is used in order to simplify the formulation of the problem. All parameters are non-dimensionalized and the analysis is made considering a velocity profile adapted from pipe to channel flow. (Author).
Download or read book The Interaction of Ocean Waves and Wind written by Peter Janssen and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004-10-28 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was published in 2004. The Interaction of Ocean Waves and Wind describes in detail the two-way interaction between wind and ocean waves and shows how ocean waves affect weather forecasting on timescales of 5 to 90 days. Winds generate ocean waves, but at the same time airflow is modified due to the loss of energy and momentum to the waves; thus, momentum loss from the atmosphere to the ocean depends on the state of the waves. This volume discusses ocean wave evolution according to the energy balance equation. An extensive overview of nonlinear transfer is given, and as a by-product the role of four-wave interactions in the generation of extreme events, such as freak waves, is discussed. Effects on ocean circulation are described. Coupled ocean-wave, atmosphere modelling gives improved weather and wave forecasts. This volume will interest ocean wave modellers, physicists and applied mathematicians, and engineers interested in shipping and coastal protection.
Download or read book Wind Waves written by Blair Kinsman and published by Courier Corporation. This book was released on 1984-01-01 with total page 706 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this classic study, a renowned student of ocean wave theory examines the data requirements and details of the power spectral analysis required to make the wave revolution intelligible. Although the discussions center on waves, once the techniques are understood, they can be applied to many other areas. After outlining the nature of waves and wave processes and their methods of measurement and classification, the author provides a detailed exploration that relies heavily on mathematical models. Topics include perturbations of irrotational motion, energy considerations, wave generations by wind, and much more. The text is enhanced and clarified by 270 photos, figures, and tables. A helpful bibliography and indexes conclude this indispensable addition to the oceanographer's library.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary purpose of this investigation was to extend and to improve the results of Zagustin, et al., on steady-state, experimental simulation of wind blowing over small amplitude waves. Experiments were performed in a laboratory open-channel flume in which a belt driven at a constant speed and following the shape of the wave reproduced the moving boundary conditions found at an air-water interface. Water was used as a working fluid. Two sets of new experimental results are presented. The first set was a rerun of the Zagustin experiments in which the moving belt formed one wall of the open channel. Emphasis was placed on increasing the scope and accuracy of the previous results. In the second set of experiments, a cover-plate was added to the open flume to minimize the free-surface disturbances. In both sets of experiments, a pitot-static probe was used to obtain velocity and pressure data. The measured velocity profiles in the flow above the wavy surface were used together with Miles' theory to obtain theoretical pressure distributions for the region near the wavy surface. These were compared to the experimental distributions. Within the limitations of the experimental model, the data verified Miles' inviscid mechanism of energy transfer from a shear-flow to pre-existing small amplitude waves. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. Offshore wind power is poised to deliver an essential contribution to a clean, robust, and diversified U.S. energy portfolio. Capturing and using this large and inexhaustible resource has the potential to mitigate climate change, improve the environment, increase energy security, and stimulate the U.S. economy. The U.S. is now deliberating an energy policy that will have a powerful impact on the nation¿s energy and economic health for decades to come. This report provides a broad understanding of today¿s wind industry and the offshore resource, as well as the associated technology challenges, economics, permitting procedures, and potential risks and benefits.
