This study examines land-based oscillating water column (OWC) devices numerically and
experimentally subjected to the action of regular and irregular waves. The higher-order …

Floating breakwaters have received growing attention in recent years from academic and
engineering sectors alike. The wave-dissipating components are commonly attached to the …

Due to its simplicity and low cost, the Wells turbine is the most common choice for driving
oscillating-water-column (OWC) wave energy converters (WECs) power take-off system …

Floating solar farms in the coastal areas are subjected to more complex environmental loads
of tides and waves than lakes or reservoirs with greater challenges to their mooring. At …

Research interest in breakwater design has increased recently due to the impetus to
develop marine renewable energy systems, as breakwaters can be retrofitted to harness …

Floating offshore multi-purpose structures have recently attracted much attention worldwide
in terms of sharing costs, enhancing efficiencies and reducing environmental impacts. In this …

Incorporating wave energy converters (WECs) into offshore aquaculture platforms to
substitute conventional fossil fuel-based energy supply provides a plausible pathway to …

Most previous experimental studies on the hydrodynamic and aerodynamic performances of
an oscillating water column (OWC) wave energy converter were conducted in a wave flume …

In this study, a novel hybrid system combining a vertical pile-supported comb-type
breakwater (CTB) and an oscillating flap (OF) is proposed, to absorb effectively long-period …
