Wave energy is a renewable source with significant amount in relation to the global demand. A good concept of a device applied to extract this type of energy is the onshore oscillating water column wave energy converter ...

Former investigations on wave run-up and overtopping of (impermeable and permeable) coastal structures aimed at quantifying the influence of oblique waves on mean overtopping discharge, water layer thickness and velocities ...

Knowledge and anticipation of storm impacts on coastal communities require accurate and timely characterization of nearshore circulation and water levels. To this aim, the OPENCoastS service was built which brings ...

Port terminals downtimes lead to large economic losses and largely affect the port’s overall competitiveness. In the majority of cases, port activities such as ships’ approach maneuvers and loading/unloading operations, ...

This paper describes the physical model, experimental setup and tests performed to study the motions and forces of a ship moored to the pier A at the Leixões oil terminal, following the breakwater’s extension at 300m, for ...

A energia das ondas infragravíticas na Baía do Espírito Santo foi investigada através de duas campanhas de medição de ondas em três locais distintos. A variação da energia infragravítica ao longo do tempo foi analisada em ...

This work aims to determine the exploitable wave energy resource at six potential sites, located in the Azores, Madeira and Sines breakwater city harbours. For that purpose, the thirdgeneration wave model SWAN is used to ...

HIDRALERTA is a forecast, early warning and risk assessment system for port and coastal areas that uses measurements and estimates of sea-waves and water levels to evaluate overtopping/flooding events. The calculation of ...

Neste trabalho é efetuada a validação do protótipo To-SEAlert para o porto da Ericeira. Para a validação dos resultados do modelo SWAN foram utilizados os dados de duas boias situadas ao largo da Nazaré e para a validação ...

The assessment of damage evolution in scale model tests of rubble-mound breakwaters can be achieved by comparing eroded depths and volumes between consecutive surveys. This paper focuses on damage evolution of a model of ...
