This paper deals with the secondary excited induction generator applied to random wave input generation system. As it is preferred to stabilize the output voltage and frequency in the constant level, microcomputer controlled CSI connected to the secondary windings supplies the secondary current with slip frequency. For testing this method, the input torque simulator is constructed, according to the power flow analysis. The experimental and numerical results show the advantage of secondary excited induction generator system for the random input wave generation system.

This study proposes an improved 3-D model that includes a new non-reflected wave generation system for oblique incident and multi-directional random waves, which enables us to estimate the effect of the various wave-types on 3-D wave fields in a coastal area with permeable submerged breakwaters. Then, using the numerical results,the three-dimensional wave field characteristics around permeable submerged breakwaters are examined in cases of oblique incident and multi-directional random waves. Especially, the wave height, mean surface elevation and mean flow around the submerged breakwaters are discussed in relation to the variation of incident wave condition.

The theoretical treatment of statistical properties and distribution relevant to nonlinear random wave field of moderate bandwidth such as peak and trough of wave elevation is an overdue task hampered by the complicated form of nonlinear random waves. In this study, the extreme distribution of nonlinear random waves is derived based on the simplified version of Longuet-Higgins' wave model. It is shown that the band width of wave spectrum has a significant influence on these extreme distribution and the significant wave height is getting larger in an increasing manner as the nonlinearity is getting profound.

This paper provides a practical stochastic method by which the maximum equilibrium scour depth below a pipeline exposed to random waves plus a current on mild slopes can be derived. The approach is based on assuming the waves to be a stationary narrow-band random process, adopting the Battjes and Groenendijk (2000) wave height distribution for mild slopes including the effect of breaking waves, and using the empirical formulas for the scour depth on the horizontal seabed by Sumer and Fredsøe (1996). The present approach is valid for wave-dominant flow conditions. Results for random waves alone and random wave plus currents have been presented and discussed by varying the seabed slope and water depth. An approximate method is also proposed, and comparisons are made with the present stochastic method. For random waves alone it appears that the approximate method can replace the stochastic method, whereas the stochastic method is required for random waves plus currents. Tentative approaches to related random wave-induced scour cases for random waves alone are also suggested.

In this study, we investigated wave force distribution at points on a vertical structure of semi-infinite breakwater considering diffraction. Wave forces of monochromatic and random waves on a vertical structure are studied considering diffractions in front and lee side of the breakwater for non-breaking wave condition. We selected width of breakwater are 0 for reference condition. In monochromatic wave case, relative wave force becomes 0 on the head of the breakwater by acting incident wave force and diffracting wave force simultaneously and oscillating patterns of relative wave force occurs based on 1.0 as distance from the head increases. Relative wave force of monochromatic waves decreases as incident wave angle increases. Relative wave force of random waves is defined by using ratio of root mean square and wave force spectrum in this study. The case considering random phase of each wave components are compared to the case which don't consider random phase and both results are almost similar. Relative wave force of random waves is also 0 near the head of the breakwater likewise monochromatic wave. Oscillating pattern of relative wave force of random waves becomes relatively weaker for composition of each wave components as distance from the head increases.

The stochastic finite element method is employed to obtain a stochastic dynamic model of angled beams subjected to impact loads when uncertain material properties are described by random fields. Using the perturbation technique in conjunction with a precise time integration method, a random analysis approach is developed for efficient analysis of random elastic waves. Formulas for the mean, variance and covariance of displacement, strain and stress are introduced. Statistics of displacement and stress waves is analyzed and effects of bend angle and material stochasticity on wave propagation are studied. It is found that the elastic wave correlation in the angled section is the most significant. The mean, variance and covariance of the stress wave amplitude decrease with an increase in bend angle. The standard deviation of the beam material density plays an important role in longitudinal displacement wave covariance.

Hydraulic experiments were conducted to analyze the characteristics of stem waves due to multidirectional random wave incidence with the different incident angles of main wave direction. Both multi-directional and uni-directional random waves were used to generate the stem waves and their results were compared with each other. The experiment shows multi-directional random waves developed along the vertical wall tend to increase as the incident angle increases similar to the uni-directional waves. Moreover, the stem wave widths were almost same as those in uni-directional random wave cases. However, the experiment demonstrate the stem wave heights were significantly smaller in multi-directional random wave cases than in uni-directional random wave cases.

The wave-kinetic numerical method is used in simulating the irradiance scintillations of optical wave through a two-dimensional random medium containing weak Gaussian fluctuations of the refractive index. The results are compared to existing analytical or numerical results. The wave-kinetic method is a phase-space ray-tracing method for certain key ray trajectories, and the irradiance is calculated by reconstructing the entire beam from these trajectories. The strength of the wave-kinetic method lies in the fact that it can be applied to any type of random media.

In this paper, the two-axis theory is adopted to analyze the secondary excited induction generator applied to random wave input generation system. The analysis by the two-axis theory helps to know the transmitted power of the induction machine. The electric variables, like as primary and secondary currents, voltages, and electric output power, were able to express as equations. These equations are help to simulate the generation system numerical model and to know the transient state of the system. As it is preferred to stabilize the output voltage and frequency in the constant level, microcomputer controlled VSI connected to the secondary windings supplies the secondary current with slip frequency. For testing the appropriateness of this method, the input torque simulator in the laboratory to drive the secondary excited results show the advantage of secondary excited induction generator system for the random input wave generation system.
