This paper reports the methodology established in the application of a numerical wave model for hindcasting of wave conditions around the United Kingdom, in particular for Scottish waters, for the purpose of wave energy resource assessment at potential device development sites. The phase...

Global wave energy inventories have shown that the west coast of Canada possesses one of the most energetic wave climates in the world, with average annual wave energy transports of 40–50 kW/m occurring at the continental shelf. With this energetic climate, there is an opportunity to generate...

This paper addresses the use of numerical wave models for assessing the impact of offshore wave farms on the nearshore wave climate. Previous studies have investigated the effect of energy extraction by wave energy devices through the use of spectral models such as SWAN, representing a wave farm...

Spectral and statistical wave parameters obtained from the measured time series wave data off Paradip, east coast of India during May 1996–January 1997 were analysed along with MIKE 21 spectral wave model (SW) results. Statistical wave parameters and directional wave energy spectra distinctly...

The Ministry of Shipping desires to revise the inland vessels’ limit (IVL) notification based on scientific rationale to improve the safety of vessels and onboard personnel. The Mormugao port region extending up to the Panaji was considered for this pilot study. Measured winds and wave...

The modified Weibull spectrum is utilized to calculate the zeroth spectral moment (m<Subscript>o</Subscript>) using Monte Carlo integration methods. Then significant wave height (H<Subscript>s</Subscript>) is calculated using the formula <InlineEquation ID="IEq1"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$$ {\text{H}}_{\text{s}}=4\sqrt {{\text{m}}_{\text{o}} } . $$</EquationSource> </InlineEquation> This is validated with observed buoy...</equationsource></inlineequation></subscript></subscript>

On 7 September, 1999, an earthquake (5.8 m<Subscript>b</Subscript> <Superscript>USGS</Superscript>)took place about 20 km from the centre of Athens, until then a seismically quiet region ofeastern Greece. Considerable damage ranging from rock falls to the collapse of reinforcedconcrete structures was reported in the city and surrounding area....</superscript></subscript>
