Funded Activity Summary

Tidal generation of internal waves and currents. The North West Shelf (NWS) is a region of great significance to Australia, due mainly to the presence of the multi-billion dollar oil and gas industry, but also for fishing and national defense issues. This project will combine laboratory, numerical and field studies to quantify the production of internal waves on the NWS. The results will aid engineering design of offshore pipeline and structures, for both current production facilities and for future developments in deeper waters. The project will also provide quantitative knowledge and predictive behavior of the marine environment, allowing the development of earth and marine resources in a sustainable and informed way to protect the marine-based biodiversity.
