\section{Separating incident and reflected components from wave buoy data}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The separation of incident and reflected waves is a crucial step in numerically
|
2022-02-07 14:25:24 +01:00
|
|
|
|
modeling a sea state. Using the raw data from a buoy as the input of a wave
|
2022-02-04 14:52:03 +01:00
|
|
|
|
model will lead to incorrect results in the domain as the flow velocity at the
|
|
|
|
|
boundary will not be correctly generated.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Several methods exist to extract incident and reflected components in measured
|
2022-02-07 14:25:24 +01:00
|
|
|
|
sea states,
|
2022-02-04 14:52:03 +01:00
|
|
|
|
and they can generally be categorised in two types of methods: array methods
|
|
|
|
|
and PUV methods \parencite{inch2016accurate}. Array methods rely on the use of
|
|
|
|
|
multiple measurement points of water level to extracted the incident and
|
|
|
|
|
reflected waves, while PUV methods use colocated pressure and velocity
|
|
|
|
|
measurements to separate incident and reflected components of the signal.
|
|
|

|
\subsection{Array methods}
|
2022-02-07 14:25:24 +01:00
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{2-point methods}
|
|
|
|
|
Array methods were developped as a way to isolate incident and reflected wave
|
|
|
|
|
components using multiple wave records.
|
|
|
|
|
\textcite{goda1977estimation,morden1977decomposition} used two wave gauges
|
|
|
|
|
located along the wave direction, along with spectral analysis, in order to
|
|
|
|
|
extract the incident and reflected wave spectra. Their work is based on the
|
|
|
|
|
earlier work of \textcite{thornton1972spectral}. \textcite{goda1977estimation}
|
|
|
|
|
analyzed the wave spectrum components using the Fast Fourier Transform, and
|
|
|
|
|
suggests that this method is adequate for studies in wave flumes. They noted
|
|
|
|
|
that this method provides diverging results for gauge spacings that are
|
|
|
|
|
multiples of half of the wave length. \textcite{morden1977decomposition}
|
|
|
|
|
applies this technique to a field study, where the sea state is wind generated.
|
|
|
|
|
\textcite{morden1977decomposition} showed that, using appropriate spectral
|
|
|
|
|
analysis methods along with linear wave theory, the decomposition of the sea
|
|
|
|
|
state into incident and reflected waves is accurate. A relation between the
|
|
|
|
|
maximum obtainable frequency and the distance between the sensors is provided.
|
|
|
|
|
According to \textcite{morden1977decomposition}, the only needed knowledge on
|
|
|
|
|
the wave environment is that wave frequencies are not modified by the
|
|
|
|
|
reflection process.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{3-point methods}
|
|
|
|
|
In order to alleviate the limitations from the 2-point methods,
|
|
|
|
|
\textcite{mansard1980measurement} introduced a 3-point method. The addition of
|
|
|
|
|
a supplementary measurement point along with the use of a least-squares method
|
|
|
|
|
most importantly provided less sensitivity to
|
|
|
|
|
noise, non-linear interactions, and probe spacing. The admissible frequency
|
|
|
|
|
range could also be widened. A similar method was proposed by
|
|
|
|
|
\textcite{gaillard1980}. The accuracy of the method for the estimation of
|
|
|
|
|
incident and reflected wave components was once again highlighted, while the
|
|
|
|
|
importance of adequate positioning of the gauges was still noted.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{Time-domain method}
|
|
|
|
|
\textcite{frigaard1995time} presented a time-domain method for reflected and
|
|
|
|
|
incident wave separation. This method, called SIRW method, used discrete
|
|
|
|
|
filters to extract the incident component of an irregular wave field. The
|
|
|
|
|
results were as accurate as with the method proposed by
|
|
|
|
|
\cite{goda1977estimation}, while singularity points are better accounted for.
|
|
|
|
|
The main advantage of the SIRW method is that it works in the time-domain,
|
|
|
|
|
meaning that real time computations can be performed.
|
|
|
|
|
\textcite{frigaard1995time} also mentions the possibility of replacing one of
|
|
|
|
|
the wave gauges by a velocity meters to prevent singularities.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This method was improved by \textcite{baldock1999separation} in order to
|
|
|
|
|
account for arbitrary bathymetry. Linear theory is used to compute shoaling on
|
|
|
|
|
the varying bathymetry. Resulting errors in the computed reflection coefficient
|
|
|
|
|
are low for large reflection coefficients, but increase with lower
|
|
|
|
|
coefficients. The neglect of shoaling can lead to important error in many
|
|
|
|
|
cases. The presented method could also be extended to three-dimensionnal waves
|
|
|
|
|
and bathymetry by considering the influence of refraction.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{Further improvements}
|
|
|
|
|
Further additions were made to array methods. \textcite{suh2001separation}
|
|
|
|
|
developped a method taking constant current into account to separate incident
|
|
|
|
|
and reflected waves. This method relies on two or more gauges, using a least
|
|
|
|
|
squares method. Results are very accurate in the absence of noise, but a small
|
|
|
|
|
amount of error appears when noise is added.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\textcite{inch2016accurate} noticed that the presence of noise lead to
|
|
|
|
|
overestimation of reflection coefficient. The creation of bias lookup tables is
|
|
|
|
|
proposed in order to account for noise-induced error in reflection coefficient
|
|
|
|
|
estimations.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\textcite{andersen2017estimation,roge2019estimation} later proposed
|
|
|
|
|
improvements to account for highly non-linear regular and irregular waves
|
|
|
|
|
respectively. The improved method provides very accurate results for highly
|
|
|
|
|
non-linear waves, but are expected to be unreliable in the case of steep
|
|
|
|
|
seabeds, as shoaling is not part of the underlying model.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{Conclusion}
|
|
|
|
|
Array methods have been developped enough to provide accurate results in a wide
|
|
|
|
|
range of situations. However, they require at least two wave gauges to be used.
|
|
|
|
|
That means that in some situations such as the Saint-Jean-de-Luz event of 2017,
|
|
|
|
|
other methods are needed since only one field measurement location is
|
|
|
|
|
available.
