Laboratory Experiments for Highly Nonlinear WEC-Wave Conditions

Published by Oregon State University | Department of Energy | Catalog Last Checked: March 23, 2026 at 09:43 PM | Dataset Last Updated: May 01, 2025 at 06:00 AM
This document describes the experiments carried out in December 2019 and February-March 2020 in the Directional Wave Basin at the O.H. Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory, Oregon State University. Regular and irregular waves were generated in the absence and presence of a WEC, including regular and irregular waves using different wave generation and control strategies, emphasizing nonlinear wave conditions and nonlinear PTO control. Results of standard linear and 2nd-order wave generation are compared with results of a newly developed fully nonlinear wave generation technique using the Nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) equation.
