  1. 1. Modeling wave behavior with linear wave theory

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Elsa Renström; [2024]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This thesis aimed to look at the behaviours of the water beneath waves from a modeling and simulations point of view. We have investigated how to use Linear wave theory (LWT) to model the kinematic movements in water governed by free ocean waves. The model assumes the surface to consist of a superposition of sinusoidal waves. READ MORE

  3. 2. Behaviours of older adults in urban outdoor environments during warm days

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Sandra Lujic; [2023-08-18]
    Keywords : Older adults; urban outdoor environments; behaviour; preferences; thermal comfort;

    Abstract : As a result of climate change, heat waves are expected to increase in frequency, duration, and severity, which is particularly threatening to the urban population. Vulnerable groups, including the older population, are more likely to be affected by adverse health effects due to heat exposure. READ MORE

  4. 3. Sargassum seaweed in Guadeloupe: a public health concern : An interview study in Guadeloupe, French West Indies

    University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för hälsa och välfärd

    Author : Hanna Grönroos; [2023]
    Keywords : brown algae; Guadeloupe; health; health literacy; lifestyle; sargassum; brunalg; Guadeloupe; hälsa; hälsolitteracitet; livsstil; sargassum;

    Abstract : Bakgrund Strömmar av brunalgen sargassum har drabbat Karibien i flera år, särskilt påtagligt det senaste decenniet, sedan år 2011. Den överväldiga mängden sargassum har förknippats med klimatförändringar och utsläpp av gödningsmedel i havet. READ MORE

  5. 4. A comparative performance analysis of Fast Fourier Transformation and Gerstner waves

    University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Institutionen för datavetenskap

    Author : Morgan Westerberg; Oliver Olguin Jönsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Water simulation; Procedural methods; Ocean waves; Fast Fourier Transformation; Gerstner waves;

    Abstract : Background:  As time moves on hardware is able to tackle heavier and more complex computations in real-time systems. This means that more realistic and stylistic environments can be computed. One of these environments is the ocean. READ MORE

  6. 5. Probabilistic Added Wave Resistance Predictions for Design of RoPax Ferries

    University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner, marina system, flyg- och rymdteknik, rörelsemekanik

    Author : Jonathan Viinikka; [2023]
    Keywords : Added wave resistance in head waves; Roll-on Roll-off Passenger ferry; Probabilistic wave environment; Semi-empirical method; Adderat vågmotstånd i motsjö; Roll-on Roll-off Passagerar Fartyg; Probabilistiska vågförhållanden; Semiempiriska beräkningsmethoder;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates reasons for significant uncertainties in added wave resistance predictionsand how wave conditions can potentially affect the design of RoPax ferries. The objectiveis to find a suitable prediction method of added wave resistance for the RoPax ferry designapplication. READ MORE
