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.

Wave energy utilization: A review of the technologies
TL;DR: In this article, the development of wave energy utilization since the 1970s is discussed, with a focus on the characterization of the wave energy resource; theoretical background, with especial relevance to hydrodynamics of wave absorption and control; how a large range of devices kept being proposed and studied, and how such devices can be organized into classes; the conception, design, model-testing, construction and deployment into real sea of prototypes.
The impulse response function and ship motions
TL;DR: In this article, two new representations of the usual equations of motion for an oscillating ship are given, one makes use of the impulse response function and depends only upon the system being linear.
