RenewNet Foundry is a repository for an integrated set of simulation components for system simulation of wind, wave and tidal energy systems.

adcptools is a set of Matlab functions to post-process acoustic Doppler current profiler data. It consists of several low-level function to read out data files and several functions to process data from repeat transect measurements, moored turbulence measurements and horizontal ADCP deployments.

With the support of the NSF and ONR over the past few years we have developed a MATLAB tool that calculates the internal wave field generated by barotropic tidal flow of a nonlinearly stratified fluid past any arbitrary two-dimensional topography of finite extent You can download a recent version as a .zip file or get up-to-date version via the svn version (svn checkout svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/itides/svn/trunk itides-svn).

COASTEXCEL is a Microsoft-Excel spreadsheet with Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) functions to calculate fundamental wave properties using linear wave theory, simple wave transformations, tidal elevations, tsunami travel time, wind wave growth parameters, design wave heights using Raleigh’s probability distribution, breakwater dimensions and longshore sediment transport rates.

An integrated set of functions that automate many navigational and tidal calculations which can be time consuming and error prone if performed manually. It can be linked to a GPS to automatically receive position fixes and other information.

This is a project to create a simple, open-source, simulation of a turbine suitable for use in wind or tidal streams in plain Octave/Matlab code. It will be designed to be suitable for integration with, and the testing of, some existing power take-off models. The drive train of the turbine will be modeled, with the scope of the model being the conversion of a given wind velocity to a torque at the input of a power take-off unit.

We are 5 students from ECE gathered for a project for our fourth year of engineering school: This project named HydroTurb is realized in the context of a PPE, which means Project multidisciplinary by team in French. Why this project If this project is so attractive is that it has a very strong double interest: - At First, the very subject of the project on tidal energy, which is one of the most interesting renewable energy for the future - Second, this project focuses on the potential energy in the French representing the places of possible locations of turbines on the French coast. Description of tidal energy The tidal energy consists of using the force and power obtained from waves and current. ...

Tidal Analysis Program in PYthon (TAPPY) uses the least squares optimization function from scipy to perform a harmonic analysis (calculate amplitude and phases of a set of sine waves) of a hourly time series of water level values.

TIDAL is a collection of data acquisition and processing tools for research in respiratory physiology. It provides a high-level language for specifying experimental protocols and required computations.

Sandia National Laboratories’ (SNL) environmental assessment modeling tool helps optimize the design of MHK-turbine array layouts within ocean, tidal, and river systems to balance energy generation efficiency with environmental considerations. The new tool, SNL-EFDC, is an augmented version of US EPA’s Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code (EFDC) and includes; (1) a new module that simulates energy conversion (momentum withdrawal) by MHK turbine-like devices including commensurate changes in the turbulent kinetic energy and turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rate, (2) new, advanced sediment dynamics routines, and (3) augmented water quality modules. ...

OpenFlood is a fully dynamic 1D / 2D flood simulation engine intended to simulate fluvial and tidal flooding using the Saint Venant and shallow water equations.
