Asymmetric waves in wave energy systems analysed by the stochastic Gauss-Lagrange wave model

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The Gauss-Lagrange stochastic wave model is known to produce irregular waves with realistic degrees of asymmetry. We present the basic structure of the model and illustrate three of its characteristic properties: front-back asymmetry, particle orbits, and average horseshoe pattern. We also study the effect of a linear filter in a wave energy converting (WEC) system on asymmetry and on average power of the system.
