Summary on Grant Application Form |

This is a proposal by a multi-disciplinary consortium to set up a Network to promote research into and the practical realisation of Deterministic Sea Wave Prediction (DSWP). DSWP is a technique where the future detailed shape of the sea surface is predicted typically up to 30 seconds ahead at a site of interest. The ability to predict the sea surface shape and its consequences for predicting vessel motion has both commercial and research consequences. DSWP will considerably extend the envelope of operations in the Offshore Oil and Gas industry, in a variety of Naval roles, wave energy absorbers and potentially in Fast Ferry services. DSWP and the associated instrumentation also provides research tools for developing many marine engineering areas such as: heavy construction, salvage etc. as well as for basic sea-wave investigations.DSWP is highly multi-disciplinary involving: wave theory, large scale simulation, adaptive digital signal processing, intelligent remote sensing instrumentation, ship modelling and a wide range of other marine engineering topics. The fundamental research work has been pioneered by the Exeter Marine Dynamics Group who have established the prediction requirements and made substantial progress with the instrumentation issues.
