Schedule
From September to late February, work was being undertaken on a different project which involved creating a scale model of an OWC and devising a battery of tests to test the model for pressure distributions and wave loading on the OWC. Due to some unexpected problems, I was given the option by my supervisor to do this project instead. Below is my shcedule in the form of a gantt chart for the remainder of the new project.
Since the new project started, a lot of research has been done on general scaling and scaling OWCs more specifically. As advised by Tom Bruce, some time was spent on MATHCAD in order to decide whether to use it or Excel. Progress made with MATHCAD has been decent, therefore it has been decided that the project will continue using MATHCAD. A description of the program, how it works and its uses will be included in the final report. The tasks to be undertaken and a work plan have been detailed in the 'Work Plan' section.
