TL;DR: In this article, a fully nonlinear, coupled tool for simulating focused wave impacts on generic WEC hull forms is described and compared with physical measurements, based on the 100-year wave at Wave Hub and using the NewWave formulation, have been reproduced numerically as have experiments in which a fixed truncated circular cylinder and a floating hemispherical-bottomed buoy are subject to these focused wave events.

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of wave steepness on model response and mooring load is investigated using non-breaking focussed wave groups, while significant influence of the body motion and displacement on the moorings load is demonstrated.

TL;DR: In this paper, an analytical investigation of hydrodynamic performance of a dual pontoon WEC-type breakwater is presented, where the authors analyze the performance of the breakwater.

TL;DR: In general, the NS solvers appear to predict the behaviour of the structures better than the linearised methods but there is considerable variation in the results (even between similar methods).

TL;DR: In this article, the survivability of a 1:20 scale point absorbing wave energy converter (WEC) model is considered in extreme wave tests with focused waves embedded in regular wave backgrounds and with time series of irregular waves.
