Lagrangian modeling, oscillatory system, marine applicationsAbstract
A simplified mathematical model, formulated within the Lagrangian framework, is presented to describe the behavior of a two-dimensional oscillatory system subjected to external excitations. The model seeks to reproduce certain patterns observed in field measurements carried out in the Bahía Blanca estuary, adopting a qualitative calibration as the adjustment criterion. The underlying theory and assumptions of the model are described, based on observations and statistical information from the estuary itself. The theoretical model is validated against measurement results in terms of power spectra and time histories. The findings contribute to an ongoing research line on wave energy converters developed by the authors.
