PacWave Site

PacWave is a designated area for marine energy testing off the coast of Oregon. This site has been the focus of model development for SEAT application. A coupled hydrodynamic and wave model was developed using SNL-SWAN and Delft3D-Flow. A range of site conditions is listed in the Model Probabilities File. This site includes information regarding sediment grain size, device power generation, and acoustic effects.

Accessing Demonstration Files

To access the demonstration files relevant to this analysis, please refer to the Accessing Tutorial Files section. This demonstration utilizes the pacwave and style_files folders as detailed in DEMO Directory Structure. A comprehensive list of files provided is available below in DEMO PacWave Tutorial Files.

Preparing Demonstration Files

At this point you should have prepared the demonstration files as detailed in Prepare Tutorial Files. Please follow the instructions in the Prepare Tutorial Files section before proceeding with the Tanana River demonstration.
