Description
The course is divided in three main parts: (1) Characterizing waves and describing the important
physical processes governing oceanic and nearshore wave propagation, (2) Numerical modeling of
wave propagation, and (3) Wave-structure interactions. It is organized in 9 sessions comprised of
lectures and corresponding project work sessions.
Course objectives
The objective of this course is to introduce you to sea states and waves, the dominant physi-
cal processes controlling wave propagation, wave propagation models, and wave interactions with
structures. The class is broken into three main sections: I. Wave dynamics, II. Numerical modeling,
and III. Wave-structure interactions. In the first part of the class, linear wave theory will be used
to describe wave characteristics, propagation and transformation, and the associated hydrodynam-
ics. In the second part, different types of wave propagation models will be introduced, highlighting
their advantages, disadvantages, and range of applicability. Finally, the last part of the class is
focused on wave-structure interactions, in particular in the field of marine renewable energy (e.g.
wind turbines), including academic and industrial models, and the criteria used to design offshore
structures.
