This review focuses on the most suitable form of hydrodynamic modeling for the next
generation wave energy converter (WEC) design tools. To design and optimize a WEC, it is …

The development of new wave energy converters has shed light on a number of
unanswered questions in fluid mechanics, but has also identified a number of new issues of …

When two vessels in a side-by-side configuration are under wave actions, fluid resonance
occurs in a narrow gap between two vessels, termed 'gap resonance', leading to large free …

This paper presents a Finite Element–Dual Boundary Element Method (FE-DBEM) for
hydroelastic analysis of very large floating structures protected by vertical perforated barrier …

A bottom-hinged flap breakwater is proposed for the wave attenuation and coastal
protection. A series of laboratory experiments and a CFD numerical model were conducted …

Conventional potential flow models are known to exaggerate predictions in water wave
resonance problems, attributed to the inviscid fluid assumption in the potential theory. In this …

Based on potential flow theory, a dissipative semi-analytical solution is developed for the
wave resonance in the narrow gap between a fixed floating box and a vertical wall by using …

This paper studied the resonant behaviors of a bottom-hinged oscillating wave surge
converter (OWSC) as well as the relationship of resonance with the response and capture …

The Mocean wave energy converter consists of two sections, hinged at a central location,
allowing the device to convert energy from the relative pitching motion of the sections. In a …

In the interaction of water waves with marine structures, the interplay between wave
diffraction and drag-induced dissipation is seldom, if ever, considered. In particular, linear …
