Cours scientifiques - EOS309 : Sea State, Coastal Waves and Morphodynamics

Domaine > Mécanique des fluides et énergétique.

Descriptif

The course is taugh in english. It divided in three main parts: (1) Characterizing waves and describing the
important physical processes governing oceanic and nearshore wave propagation, (2) Numerical
modeling of wave propagation, and (3) Ocean wave energy, including wave-structure interactions.
At the end of the course, a student should be able to:

  • describe wave characteristics using deterministic and spectral approaches,
  • understand the different physical processes governing wave transformation at a range of spatial

and temporal scales, from wind generation to interactions with the bottom,

  • evaluate the appropriate numerical modeling approaches to use for different applications,
  • understand the physical processes governing wave-body interactions,
  • estimate the absorbed wave energy of a wave energy converter, and
  • evaluate the application of industrial and academic numerical modeling approaches to simulate wave-structure interactions.
