This paper reviews research in ocean engineering over the last 50+ years with the aim to (I)
understand the technological challenges and evolution in the field,(II) investigate whether …

For the research and development (R&D) of wave energy converters (WECs), numerical
wave tanks (NWTs) provide an excellent numerical tool, enabling a cost-effective testbed for …

The inherently advantageous geographical location of East and Southeast Asia provides a
great potential for the development of diverse ocean energy technologies along its densely …

This review evaluates the state-of-the-practice numerical tools used to predict the
performance of Oscillating Water Column (OWC). The OWC is a widely studied Wave …

This paper reports on the development of a two-dimensional, fully nonlinear CFD
(Computational Fluid Dynamics) model with dynamic mesh to analyze the performance of a …

This paper presents a sequential optimization procedure and a performance prediction of an
Oscillating Water Column (OWC). The effects of the Power Take-off (PTO) model, the …

In order to diminish the energy resources, the attempts to convert wave energy into an
electrical one and to develop the existing devices are very important issues. Our study …

Abstract Conventional Wave Energy Converters (WECs) are designed to extract the wave
energy from the oceans with the wave power of 20–50 kW-per-meter. If these WECs are …

Nearly 71% of Earth's surface area is occupied by the ocean, which is abundant in energy,
with wave energy being one of its essential components. As a result, the investigation of …

The work presents a numerical study of a wave energy converter (WEC) device based on
the oscillating water column (OWC) operating principle with a variation of one to five coupled …
