Wave energy converter geometry for coastal flooding mitigation.
Rafael J. Bergillos,Cristobal Rodriguez-Delgado,James Allen,Gregorio Iglesias,Gregorio Iglesias +4 more
TL;DR: Considering that beach inundation usually occurs under high-energy, storm conditions, it is concluded that the wave farm composed by WECs with a wedge angle of 60° is more efficient against coastal flooding.

Experimental investigation on the hydrodynamic performance of a new type floating Oscillating Water Column device with dual-chambers
TL;DR: In this article, a dual-chamber Oscillating water column wave energy converter was investigated in terms of converting the energy of the waves to pneumatic power and the influence of the power take-off damping as well as the wave characteristics on the hydrodynamic performance was investigated.

Experimental study on the motions of a dual chamber floating oscillating water column device
TL;DR: In this paper, the hydrodynamics and motions of a dual-chamber floating oscillating water column device are studied experimentally and the results show that the natural frequency is much lower than the generated waves and in some cases the device travels towards the incident wave due to negative drift forces.

Wave-power absorption by systems of oscillating surface pressure distributions
TL;DR: In this article, the efficiency of energy absorption of a system of uniform oscillatory surface pressure distributions was derived based on linear water-wave theory and the results showed the close analogies which exist with theories for absorbing oscillatory rigid bodies and a number of new reciprocal relations for pressure distributions.
