The application of two dimensional nearshore spectral waves (2D-NSW) model for wave prediction and wave power potentional along Terengganu coastline

Abstract

This thesis is an investigation of the wave power resource in the Terengganu nearshore area. The aim of this study is to evaluate the performance of the nearshore spectra wave model and hence used the simulated result to assess the wave power potential. The MIKE-21 Neashore Spectral Wave (MIKE-21 NSW) model has the potential of serving as a tool for obtaining accurate estimates of wave field condition along the Terengganu nearshore area.
