1. Extended Kalman Filter as Observer for a Hydrofoiling Watercraft : Modelling of a new hydrofoiling concept, based on the Spherical Inverted Pendulum Model
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : Hydrofoiling in general has the potential to revolutionize watercraft in the future since it allows smoother and faster transport on water with less energy consumption than traditional planning hulls. Even if the concept of hydrofoiling has been around since the last century, development in control theory and material science together with increased computing power has led to a growing interest for the technology.

2. Surf Simulation with the Shallow Water Equations : Coupling of a surfer model to a shallow water wave
University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)Abstract : This thesis covers the subject of deriving and solving the system of partial differential equations known as the Shallow Water Equations (SWE), and coupling the solutions of this equation system to a simplified model of a surfer - or any floating object, with the right choice of parameters. The SWE are generally used to analyze fluid movement on shallow areas, such as ocean waves nearing the shore, and are derived from the Navier-Stokes equations and restricted to conservation of mass and momentum in a fluid.

3. Effects of hydrodynamics on mussel larvae settlement and mussel distribution - with a focus on fine-scale velocities in Port Alfred Marina, South Africa
University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresursläraAbstract : Mussels, like other intertidal organisms, depend on the motion of water throughout their entire life cycle. Hydrodynamic forces are essential for the transportation and settlement of mussel larvae, as well as feeding and growth for adult mussels. READ MORE

4. A Simulation of Landslide-Generated Waves Using a Fully Implicit ISPH
University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresursläraAbstract : Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) is used to study the mechanisms of landslide-generated waves. As the landslide dynamics and the evaluation of impact forces acting on water are most important, landslide is modelled as a highly viscous fluid. Incompressible SPH (ISPH) is used for fluid simulation. READ MORE

5. Sediment transport and bathymetric change at Hornafjörður tidal inlet - Field data analysis and mathematical modeling
University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresursläraAbstract : Commercial fishing makes the coastal inlet in Hornafjörður to an important navigational link for the port of Höfn in southeast Iceland. Low water depth caused through sediment accumulation along the ebb shoal generates navigational problems and the phenomenon of glacial rebound seems to intensify this problem. READ MORE
