Absmocf-This project explores the design and construction of a water ware generation facility, compteted at a very low cost.For less than $US 800, an embedded control system guiding a piston-type wavemaker in a small laboratory wave channel was designed and constructed. Wave generation presently relies on a PID position control algorithm, backed by linear wavemaker theory and paddle position feedback. Results show that the system closely tracked expected positions and velocities, but algorithm modifications to improve temporal response are needed to improve high-frequency performance. Finally, all of the necessary hardware components required for future integration of simultaneous active wave absorption have been included in the design.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
