Description:

The goal of this project was to quantify wave reflection and expand the Orbital Velocity method to treat irregular waves. The MATLAB program automated and optimized the calculation of the incident and reflected wave height for regular waves. This research applies to wave laboratory instrumentation setup and wave reflection analysis.
