Investigation of long-term changes of coastal wave directionality patterns and their connections with NAO climatic index: UK case study (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The effects of climate change are at the spotlight of scientific research. In coastal science the effects of sea-level rise (SLR) on coastal areas, mainly as a result of melting of ice sheets and thermal volume expansion consist an intensive area of...

3D modelling of the impacts of in-stream horizontal-axis Tidal Energy Converters (TECs) on offshore sandbank dynamics (2019)
Journal Article

The tidal energy sector is a growing industry in the UK and beyond. Energy developers’ interests are progressing towards the deployment of large arrays of tidal energy converters (TECs). Numerous factors will affect decision making related to arrays...

Multi-timescale morphological modelling of a dune-fronted sandy beach (2018)
Journal Article

© 2018 The Authors Medium/long term trends (annual to decadal scale) of beach change are mostly used to make coastal management decisions. However, short term, extreme episodic events (short term) can erode the beach to exceed sustainable erosion thr...

Modelling 3D hydrodynamics governing island-associated sandbanks in a proposed tidal stream energy site (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017 The Authors A 3D numerical modelling study to investigate the existing hydrodynamic regime of the Pentland Firth Inner Sound Channel, Scotland, UK is presented. Hydrodynamics that govern some sensitive sedimentary deposits in the Inner Sound C...

Implementation of tidal turbines in MIKE 3 and Delft3D models of Pentland Firth & Orkney Waters (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017 Elsevier Ltd As part of the Terawatt project, two regional-scale hydrodynamic models of the Pentland Firth & Orkney waters were developed using unaltered commercially-available software (MIKE 3 and Delft3D), in order to investigate the suitabi...

Large scale three-dimensional modelling for wave and tidal energy resource and environmental impact: Methodologies for quantifying acceptable thresholds for sustainable exploitation (2016)
Journal Article

Highlights
•We describe a modelling project to estimate the potential effects of wave & tidal stream renewables on the marine environment.

•Realistic generic devices to be used by those without access to the technical details available to develop...

Investigation of deep sea shelf sandbank dynamics driven by highly energetic tidal flows (2016)
Journal Article

© 2016 The Authors In this paper we describe a numerical modelling study carried out to investigate the prevailing sediment dynamics of two large sandbanks located at a site designated for future development of tidal stream energy extraction, in the...
