Abstract: A stochastic model of sea storms for describing long-term statistics of extreme wave events is presented. The formulation generalizes Boccotti?s equivalent triangular storm model by describing an actual storm history in ...

Abstract: In recent years, wave energy harvesting systems have received considerable attention as an alternative energy source. Within this class of systems, singlepoint harvesters are popular at least for preliminary studies and ...

Abstract: This article deals with the case study of a marina located in Roccella Jonica (Italy), where a wave energy harvester belonging to the family of U-oscillating water columns (U-OWC) is going to be installed. U-OWCs are wave ...

Abstract: Measuring the free-surface displacement on a vertical wall of a marine structure is not a trivial problem. In this context, the efficacy of ultrasonic probes is affected by the interaction between the signal emitted by the ...
