TL;DR: In this paper, a linearized theory of an oscillating water column (OWC) installed on a straight coast is described, where the sea depth is assumed to be constant and the coast is a vertical cliff.

TL;DR: In this article, the wave power potential along the southeast Atlantic coast of the United States of America bounded by latitudes 27° N and 38° N, and longitudes 82° W and 72° W (i.e. North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and northern Florida) is investigated.

TL;DR: In this article, a comparison of methods for the calculation of the hydrodynamic characteristics of arrays of wave power devices is presented, in particular, the plane-wave approximation and an exact multiple scattering formulation have been used to compute exciting wave forces, hydrodynam coefficients and q factors for arrays of interacting wave powers devices.

TL;DR: In this paper, wave farms composed of two either surging or heaving wave energy converters are considered and the impact on the absorbed wave power of the separating distance between the two systems and the wave direction is studied.

TL;DR: In this paper, a wave resource assessment for the region around the Korean peninsula is presented for the period of 1979-2003, based on significant wave heights and peak periods, and wave directions hindcast for the periods of 1979−2003.
