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、潮汐功率和表面波。对潮汐的研究将包括继续调查昂加瓦湾出现极端潮差的原因，以及应用流体动力学原理更好地表述沿海模型中摩擦力的表示。对潮汐能的研究将建立在我之前关于潮流可用最大功率的研究成果的基础上，并考虑在航道中只使用部分涡轮机围栏时所发生的减少。对海浪的研究将包括一种新的方法，将异常海浪视为“意想不到的”海浪，并提出破碎海浪对底层水流的背部效应。这一点很重要，因为在某些情况下，驱动力可能是主导的。

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.
