The ocean waves are an important renewable energy resource that, if extensively exploited,
may contribute significantly to the electrical energy supply of countries with coasts facing the …

It has been well accepted that wave energy may have the potential to significantly contribute
to the future renewable energy mix but so far it remains as the largest untapped renewable …

Abstract Model testing in wave tanks or under sheltered sea conditions is an essential step
in the development of wave energy converters. The paper focuses on the rules for …

This paper reviews key issues in the physical and numerical modelling of marine renewable
energy systems, including wave energy devices, current turbines, and offshore wind …

A new solver for wave and structure interaction is used for three-dimensional simulation of
an Oscillating Water Column (OWC). The CFD model solves the Reynolds Averaged Navier …

Understanding the hydrodynamic performance of an Oscillating Water Column (OWC) wave
energy converter is essential for further improving the device efficiency. Most experimental …

This study presents an evaluation of the error induced by neglecting the effect of air
compressibility in modelling Oscillating Water Column (OWC) wave energy converters. A …

This work investigates wave reflection and loading on a generalised Oscillating Water
Column (OWC) wave energy converter by means of large scale (approximately 1: 5–1: 9) …

The performance of oscillating water column (OWC) systems depends on a number of
factors in a complex manner. The objective of this work is to analyse the influence of the …

Ocean wave energy is a rapidly develo** sector and has the potential to contribute a
significant share to the global green energy transformation. However, nearshore coastal …
