The applied dynamics of ocean surface waves
TLDR
In this article, the authors present selected theoretical topics on ocean wave dynamics, including basic principles and applications in coastal and offshore engineering, all from a deterministic point of view, and the bulk of the material deals with the linearized theory.Abstract:

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.

Alternative form of Boussinesq equations for nearshore wave propagation
TL;DR: In this paper, a new form of the Boussinesq equations is derived using the velocity at an arbitrary distance from the still water level as the velocity variable instead of the commonly used depth-averaged velocity.

A fully nonlinear Boussinesq model for surface waves. Part 1. Highly nonlinear unsteady waves
TL;DR: In this paper, a high-order numerical model based on the Boussinesq model was developed and applied to the study of two canonical problems: solitary wave shoaling on slopes and undular bore propagation over a horizontal bed.

Waves in Oceanic and Coastal Waters
TL;DR: The SWAN wave model as discussed by the authors is a wave model based on linear wave theory (SWAN) for oceanic and coastal waters, and it has been shown to be effective in detecting ocean waves.
