Abstracts Design of coastal structures without considering dependence of environmental
variables can lead to over-or under estimation of their cross-sectional dimensions, imposing …

Ocean wave simulations must be conducted in real-time and are more complicated than
other natural scenery simulations. This study proposes a novel ocean wave simulation …

This study presents a novel approach for evaluating Multi-Body Floating Wave Energy
Converters (MBFWEC) operating in complex sea states. To this end, a Transfer Function …

Multi-peaked directional wave spectra have been estimated by the well-known maximum
likelihood method and modeled by applying a numerical optimization approach that uses a …

A novel, inverse-pendulum wave energy converter (NIPWEC) is a device that can achieve
natural period control via a mass-position-adjusting mechanism and a moveable internal …

Calibration of double-peaked spectra based on partitioning of frequency spectra sometimes
starts by assuming that relations existing between two observed peaks are valid through the …

The characteristics of wave spectra in the swell-dominated seas in the Chancay Bay, Peru,
and off the coast of Hambantota, Sri Lanka, were studied based on in situ measurements …

Abstract Accurate assessment of Wave Energy Converters (WECs) performance requires a
deep understanding of wave systems and energy distributions within both frequency and …

The complex sea states with the co-occurrence of swell and wind-sea conditions represent
threats to sailing vessels. This study presents the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) …

Marine energy development has been actively promoted in recent years. Analyzing wave
data in the surrounding sea areas is crucial for improving wave power generator efficiency …
