Physical oceanography

我的研究将涉及物理海洋学问题的理论研究，重点是潮汐、潮汐能和表面波。对潮汐的研究将包括继续调查翁加瓦湾极端潮差的原因，以及应用流体动力学原理，以便在沿海模型中更好地表示摩擦力。潮汐能的研究将建立在我之前关于潮汐能最大功率的研究结果的基础上，并考虑到如果在河道中只使用部分涡轮机栅栏所发生的减少。对波浪的研究将包括一种将异常波浪作为“意想不到的”波浪的新方法，以及一个破碎波浪对潜在洋流的反向效应的公式。这一点很重要，因为在某些情况下，驱动力可能占主导地位。

My research will involve theoretical studies of problems in physical oceanography, with an emphasis on tides, tidal power, and surface waves. Studies of tides will include continued investigation of the reason for the extreme tidal range in Ungava Bay and the application of fluid dynamical principles to a better formulation of the representation of friction forces in coastal models. Studies of tidal power will build on my earlier results on the maximum power available from tidal currents and consider the reduction that occurs if only partial fences of turbines are used in channels. Studies of waves will include a new approach to rogue waves as "unexpected" waves, and a formulation of the back effect of breaking waves on an underlying current. This is important as the driving forces can be dominant in some situations.
