Abstract
This paper analyses the construction characteristics as well as the hydraulic and acoustical aspects of the Sea Organ in Zadar. A simplified computational model was developed for this purpose, by combining a two-dimensional model for generating surface waves and an algorithm for transforming the time series of sea-surface oscillations into a MIDI sound of a corresponding frequency, duration and intensity. Furthermore, the wind-wave climate in the Zadar channel was analysed to define the relevant wave parameters. Two examples for different wave directions and heights are presented to assess the performance of the proposed computational model.
