An experimental study of a floating breakwater with asymmetric pneumatic chambers for wave energy extraction
TLDR
In this article, a configuration of floating breakwater with asymmetric pneumatic chambers was proposed to increase the amplitude of the oscillating air-pressures inside both chambers over a wide range of wave frequency (thus to improve the performance in wave energy extraction).About:

Wave energy device and breakwater integration: A review
M. A. Mustapa,Omar Yaakob,Yasser M. Ahmed,Yasser M. Ahmed,Chang-Kyu Rheem,Kho King Koh,Faizul Amri Adnan +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors bring the latest status on integration of wave energy device with other marine facilities, which is the breakwater structure that may possibly aid to cost sharing, and show that the integration opens up a new dimension to acknowledge the technology harnessing ocean wave, especially for the Asian countries experiencing medium wave condition.

Estimation of incident and reflected waves in random wave experiments
Yoshimi Goda,Tasumasa Suzuki +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a technique to resolve the incident and reflected waves from the records of composite waves is presented, which is applicable to both regular and irregular trains of waves and is effective in the range outside the condition of the gauge spacing being even integer of half wavelength.
