Tan, J. (author), Tao, W. (author), Jarquin Laguna, A. (author), Polinder, H. (author), Xing, Yihan (author), Miedema, S.A. (author)Wave-to-Wire models play an important role in the development of wave energy converters. They could provide insight into the complete operating process of wave energy converters, from the power absorption stage to the power conversion stage. In order to cover a set of relevant nonlinear effects, wave-to-wire models are predominately...journal article 2023

van Gent, M.R.A. (author), Buis, L. (author), van den Bos, J.P. (author), Wüthrich, D. (author)Wave transmission at low-crested coastal structures has been studied, based on physical model tests with trapezoidal impermeable, permeable and perforated structures. The differences between wave transmission at impermeable and permeable structures are relatively limited. For a perforated hollow structure with an impermeable vertical screen...journal article 2023

Li, H. (author), Pourquie, M.J.B.M. (author), Ooms, G. (author), Henkes, R.A.W.M. (author)The Reynolds-Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) with the Launder & Sharma low-Reynolds number k−ε model was used to simulate core-annular flow in the same configuration with vertical upflow as considered by Kim & Choi (2018), who carried out Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS), and by Vanegas Prada (1999), who performed experiments. The DNS...journal article 2023

Corrales-Gonzalez, Manuel (author), Lavidas, G. (author), Besio, Giovanni (author)Clean energies are being incorporated into the energy mix in numerous countries. Through a spatial survey of maritime trade, restricted military maritime areas, marine planning, and the presence of fauna and flora along the Ligurian Sea, locations for possible investments in wave energy harvesting were identified in the Northern Thyrrenian Sea,...journal article 2023

Mulder, W.A. (author)Finite elements with mass lumping allow for explicit time stepping when modelling wave propagation and can be more efficient than finite differences in complex geological settings. In two dimensions on quadrilaterals, spectral elements are the obvious choice. Triangles offer more flexibility for meshing, but the construction of polynomial...journal article 2023

Reinicke, Christian (author), Dukalski, Marcin (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)Minimum-phase properties are well-understood for scalar functions where they can be used as physical constraint for phase reconstruction. Existing scalar applications of the latter in geophysics include, for example the reconstruction of transmission from acoustic reflection data, or multiple elimination via the augmented acoustic Marchenko...journal article 2023

van de Water, W. (author)I comment on the recent article Grüneisen approach for universal scaling of the Brillouin shift in gases by Liang et al (2022 New J. Phys. 24 103005). While the result of this article indeed provides a parametrization of measured Rayleigh Brillouin scattering spectra, I argue that the association with the Grüneisen effect is fortuitous. The...review 2023

Akrish, G. (author), Smit, Pieter (author), Zijlema, Marcel (author), Reniers, A.J.H.M. (author)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...journal article 2023

Wang, Junxian (author), Santhosh, Sabin (author), Colomés, Oriol (author), Capaldo, Matteo (author), Yang, Liang (author)The hydrofoil harnesses wave energy and converts it into thrust. In this paper, we present the results of the first experimental study investigating the dynamic behavior of a fully passive foil with spring-loaded pitch and heave in regular waves. Our study shows that the real-time load signal is multi-harmonic with strong superposition,...journal article 2023

Bali, Meysam (author), Etemad-Shahidi, Amir (author), van Gent, M.R.A. (author)Slope stability formulae for rubble mound structures are usually developed for head-on conditions. Often, the effects of oblique waves are neglected, mainly because it is assumed that for oblique wave attack, the reduction in damage compared to perpendicular wave attack is insignificant. When the incident waves are oblique, the required...journal article 2023

Xie, F. (author), Hao, Zhiguo (author), Ye, Dongmeng (author), Yang, Songhao (author), Li, Chuanxi (author), Dai, Guoan (author), Zhang, Baohui (author), Wang, Ting (author)The existing protection techniques for high-voltage direct-current (HVDC) grids suffer from several shortcomings such as high sampling frequency, poor robustness, and reliance on simulation for threshold setting. To solve these problems, this paper proposes a non-unit protection method for modular multilevel converter (MMC)-based HVDC grids...journal article 2023

Ren, Chao (author), Tan, J. (author), Xing, Yihan (author)Wave energy is considered one of the most potential renewable energy. In the last two decades, many wave energy converters (WECs) have been designed to harvest energy from the ocean. Different power take-off systems are developed to maximize the power generation of WECs. However, the estimation of the power matrix of the WECs and annual power...journal article 2023

Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author), Dukalski, Marcin (author), Reinicke, Christian (author), Snieder, Roel (author)Many seismic imaging methods use wavefield extrapolation operators to redatum sources and receivers from the surface into the subsurface. We discuss wavefield extrapolation operators that account for internal multiple reflections, in particular propagator matrices, transfer matrices and Marchenko focusing functions. A propagator matrix is a...journal article 2023

Mulder, W.A. (author)Temporal dispersion correction of second-order finite-difference time stepping for numerical wave propagation modelling exploits the fact that the discrete operator is exact but for the wrong frequencies. Mapping recorded traces to the correct frequencies removes the numerical error. Most of the implementations employ forward and inverse...journal article 2023

Tang, Tianning (author), Moss, Charlotte (author), Draycott, Samuel (author), Bingham, Harry B. (author), van den Bremer, T.S. (author), Li, Yan (author), Adcock, Thomas A.A. (author)An increased number of rogue waves, relative to standard distributions, can be induced by unidirectional waves passing over abrupt decreases in water depth. We investigate this phenomenon in a more general setting of multidirectional waves. We examine the influence of the directionality on the occurrence probability of rogue waves using...journal article 2023

However, the initialization of remote-sensing-based wave prediction models first requires a reconstruction of wave surfaces from sparse measurements like radar. Existing reconstruction methods either rely on...journal article 2023

(author)Previous studies indicate that scattering may pose a trade-off for the performance of seismic interferometry (SI) applications for retrieving body-wave reflections of a target reflector. While it has been demonstrated that a higher scattering strength of the overburden improves the Green's function estimated by cross-correlation SI, other...journal article 2023
