QuadWave1D: An optimized quadratic formulation for spectral prediction of coastal waves

Spectral information of coastal waves and the associated statistical parameters (e.g., the significant wave height and mean wave period) over large spatial scales is essential for many applications (e.g., coastal safety assessments, coastal management and developments, etc.). This demand explains the necessity for accurate yet effective...

The impact of modulational instability on coastal wave forecasting using quadratic models

Coastal wave forecasting over large spatial scales is essential for many applications (e.g., coastal safety assessments, coastal management and developments, etc.). This demand explains the necessity for accurate yet effective models. A well-known efficient modelling approach is the quadratic approach (often referred to as frequency-domain...

Spectral modeling of Rhea, Dione, and Enceladus: A link to surface exogenic processes in the Saturnian system

A new era of exploration is on the horizon with missions such as the James Webb Space Telescope and the JUpiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE), focusing on the enigmatic icy moons within our solar system. Previous missions, like the Cassini-Huygens mission, have provided an invaluable wealth of data regarding Saturnian moons, shedding light on their...

Spectral Modelling of Coastal Waves over Spatial Inhomogeneity

Spectral wave models are widely used for wave prediction over large spatio-temporal scales. Over global scales, spectral models (e.g. WAM and WAVEWATCH III) are used regularly by environmental modelling centers, such as the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) and the American National Center for Environmental Prediction ...

A mild-slope formulation based on Weyl rule of association with application to coastal wave modelling

Weyl rule of association, proposed by Hermann Weyl for quantum mechanics applications (Weyl, 1931), can be used to associate between the dispersion relation of water waves and a non-local pseudo-differential operator. The central result of this study is that this operator correctly approximates the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator derived for...

SWAN SurfBeat-1D

The Simulating WAves Nearshore (SWAN) model has been extended with an infragravity module to predict the Wave-Group-Forced (WGF) infragravity response to a frequency-directional sea-swell spectrum at a mildly sloping alongshore uniform beach. To that end the SWAN model has been extended with an WGF-infragravity source term denoted S<sub>sb<...

Advancements in Spectral Power Distribution Modeling of Light-Emitting Diodes

The unique radiative, photometric and colorimetric characteristic of a light-emitting diode is derived from its spectral power distribution. Modeling such characteristics with respect to the forward current, temperature or operating time has been subject of various studies. Deriving a simple analytical model, however, is not trivial due to the...
