Desenvolvimento da interface gráfica wave kinematics para análise cinemática de ondas regulares e irregulares

Abstract

The exploration scenario for oil in Brazil is mostly in offshore territory. The need to understand the behavior of the sea in different scenarios and aspects has become increasingly essential, but access to specialized software on the subject is still scarce. So, the academic community works to develop tools to make these studies simpler and easier. Along these lines, the work presents the Wave Kinematics interface in a new language, previously developed in MATLAB® and now in PythonTM, and expands its scope. In addition to Airy's linear theory for regular waves, which was already present, Stokes' theory for regular waves and the theory of irregular waves are added, encompassing the Pierson-Moskowitz and JONSWAP wave spectrum, in order to enrich the academic scenario. The new interface aims to provide the graphical response to the behavior of the sea that you want to study in a simple and intuitive way. Throughout the work, case studies are carried out for two types of scenarios, for which the tool proved to be effective in interpreting data and displaying results for the implemented wave theories.
