Explicit wave height prediction model and regularity analysis for floating breakwaters based on deep symbolic regression
Accurate wave height prediction is critical for coastal engineering and aquaculture safety. This study validates a novel approach utilizing Physical Symbolic Optimization (PhySO) to model wave attenuation behind floating breakwaters. Employing real-world data from Fujian Province, the research developed explicit, interpretable formulas for significant (Hs) and maximum (Hmax) wave height prediction. Notably, the Hmax model achieves accuracy comparable to complex machine learning methods, while incident wave height emerges as the dominant controlling factor, demonstrating PhySO’s value in balancing precision and practical application.
Kalman filter for ocean waves using IMU
A novel Kalman filter implementation for real-time ocean wave and boat motion estimation has been developed and validated using an inertial measurement unit (IMU). Utilizing an OU-Driven Quaternion MEKF framework, this open-source project, ‘ocean-imu’ (available on GitHub), provides calibrated estimates of boat heave and wave direction leveraging the atomS3R unit. This innovative approach offers researchers and practitioners a valuable tool for marine navigation and oceanographic data acquisition.
