MS Plan B Defense: Performance Assessment of Wave Models for Cold Front Events in Hawai’i
POST 723 1680 East-West Road, HonoluluLiz (Elizabeth) Hauschild Master’s Student Department of Ocean and Resources Engineering University of Hawai’i at Mānoa **This defense will be held both in person (POST 723) and over Zoom** Meeting ID: 969 2180 7582 Passcode: LizMS https://hawaii.zoom.us/j/96921807582 The University of Hawai’i actively supports the United States’ first Wave Energy Test Site (WETS), situated on the east side of Oahu. The site’s location is exposed to a diverse array of wave energy resulting from persistent trade winds, seasonal extratropical storms, and subtropical and tropical systems. If not well understood, the activity and complexity of the wave climate may pose challenges for
Seminar: Numerical wave modeling for Pacific Islands
Bilger Hall 150 2545 McCarthy Mall, HonoluluNing Li Ocean Wave Model Systems Specialist Department of Ocean and Resources Engineering University of Hawaii at Manoa Location Information **This seminar will be held both in person (Bilger Hall 150) and over Zoom** https://hawaii.zoom.us/j/95081858686 Meeting ID: 950 8185 8686 Passcode: OREseminar Hawaii is typical of most Pacific Islands with a complex wave climate containing a mix of persistent trade wind seas, year-round south swells, seasonal north swells, and storm waves from subtropical and tropical cyclones passing nearby. The steep volcanic islands modulate the wind fields to create regional wave patterns with large spatial variation. Wave-rider buoys were installed around
Experimental and numerical investigation on the runup of leading-depression N-waves
Zoom Meeting ID: 961 6222 2366 Passcode: OREseminarDr. Peter Lo, Assistant Professor Department of Engineering Science and Ocean Engineering National Taiwan University Location Information **This seminar will be held over Zoom only** Meeting ID: 961 6222 2366 Passcode: OREseminar https://hawaii.zoom.us/j/96162222366 Solitary waves, widely used benchmark waves in hydrodynamic studies, had historically been implied as a suitable wave form for tsunamis. However, modern tsunami records reveal solitary waves to be an inaccurate model for real tsunamis. For example, before the arrival of a tsunami at shore, a significant recession of water is often observed. Solitary waves are incapable of capturing this drawdown phenomenon, and the leading-depression N-waves (LDNs)
