Abstract: The question of optimal operation of wave-energy converters has been a key issue since modern research on the topic emerged in the early 1970s, and criteria for maximum wave-energy absorption ...

Abstract: The partial differential equation describing one-dimensional flow in a hydraulic pipeline with linear resistance can be approximated and solved numerically using different modal approaches. Modal ...

Abstract: Wave-energy converters of the point-absorbing type (i.e., having small extension compared with the wavelength) are promising for achieving cost reductions and design improvements because of a high ...
