OCE 4541: OCEAN ENGINEERING DESIGN


The President's CUP!!!!
Topics (2010) (planning)
1) Ocean Energy / Coastal Engineering: Wing Wave Energy (Brochure, Final Report)
The design and development of a wave action wing to eventually be deployed off the coast of Melbourne to generate electrical energy. This device will require a complete analysis of the coastal areas off of Melbourne such as average wave spectrum, sediment transport in the area of where the device will be installed – from storm or wave action. Foundation design and other coastal engineering parameters along with the actual design parameters of the system due to the coastal characteristics of the area will also be part of the project.
