Current work aims to study the geometry of an overtopping wave energy converter in real
scale using Constructal Design. Problem studied here is submitted to two constraints (areas …

The objective of the present work is to provide a comprehensive picture of the benefits
coming from a wind and wave project that would operate near the largest and the most …

A global atlas of ocean wave spectra is developed and presented. The development is
based on a new technique for deriving wave spectral statistics, which is applied to the …

The present study investigates the wave behavior and the longshore sediment transport rate
on the Brazilian continental shelf, using a computational model and four different …

Directional wave spectra describe complex sea-states in frequency and directional domains
and provide more detailed information than the bulk wave parameters. Using hourly …

The present study aims to evaluate the difference in the fluid-dynamic behavior of an
overtopping wave energy converter under the incidence of irregular waves based on a …

This work presents a two-dimensional numerical analysis of a wave channel and a
oscillating water column (OWC) device. The main goal is to validate a methodology which …

Wave energy converters (WEC) are complex systems comprising multiple subsystems
including wave capture structure and station keeping, power takeoff (PTO), and control …

Waves and ocean currents have been widely researched worldwide as possible renewable
energy sources. Recent findings related to viable energy sites with high power output focus …

This study numerically analyzes a submerged horizontal plate (SHP) device subjected to
both regular and irregular waves. This device can be used either as a breakwater or a wave …
