Extracting wave energy is a promising solution for renewable energy production because of
the high energy intensity of ocean waves when compared to other renewable energy …

Floating breakwaters are an effective solution for protecting fragile beaches from being
washed away, coastlines from erosion, floating structures, marinas and ports from strong …

An abreast pair of floating parabolic breakwaters is proposed as part of a breakwater-WEC
(wave energy converter) hybrid system. An objective is providing a basis for tackling the …

Based on the three-dimensional (3D) potential theory and finite element method (FEM), this
paper proposes a new numerical method for hydroelastic predictions of floating structures in …

This paper focuses on the hydroelastic and expansibility analysis of a Modular Floating
Structure (MFS) with multi-directional hinge connections designed specifically for Floating …

This paper presents a dynamic analysis of a two-raft wave energy conversion device based
on the three-dimensional wave radiation-diffraction method. The device consists of two …

A numerical model associated with wave interaction with a moored articulated very large
floating structure is presented. An analytical model is formulated under the linearized wave …

This study investigates the hydro-elastic behaviors of a moored submerged floating tunnel
(SFT) using a fully-coupled time-domain hydro-elastic model based on the discrete-module …

In this paper, a time-domain hydroelastic method for very large floating structures (VLFS′)
in inhomogeneous waves is developed based on Cummins' equation. By discretizing the …

In this study, a time-domain hydro-elastic model is developed to solve the floater-connector-
mooring coupled system. The frequency-domain model is first devised with the discrete …
