Purpose The paper provides a contribution of systematisation to the literature on the blue
economy and aquaculture as challenging issues for achieving sustainable growth and a …

The urgent demand for energy structural reform and the limitations of single energy
development have promoted the combination of wind energy and wave energy. A hybrid …

A multi-functional floating foundation integrating an Oscillating Water Column (OWC) Wave
Energy Converter (WEC) with a Floating Offshore Wind Turbine (FOWT) is a promising …

This paper numerically studies the dynamic behaviors of a hinged multi-body floating
aquaculture platform under regular waves. A coupled scheme that integrates the boundary …

In this paper, based on multi-body dynamics and beam bending theory, a frequency-domain
model is developed to investigate the hydrodynamic performance of a hybrid floating …

Incorporating wave energy converters (WECs) into offshore aquaculture platforms to
substitute conventional fossil fuel-based energy supply provides a plausible pathway to …

In this study, a novel 10 MW barge-type floating offshore wind turbine with an aquaculture
cage (BT-FOWT-AC) designed for a water depth of 100 m is investigated through fully …

Flexural-gravity wave scattering by an array of vertical porous barriers of various
configurations is investigated in finite water depth from the viewpoint of blocking dynamics. A …

Hybrid platforms which integrate a floating offshore wind turbine and a wave energy
converter are a promising technology as the wave energy converter can lead to a more …

Multi-purpose offshore structures are very complex systems to be designed as many
different requirements have to be taken into account simultaneously. Experimental tests on …
