A floating air bag, ballasted in water, expands and contracts as it heaves under wave action. Connecting the bag to a secondary volume via a turbine transforms the bag into a device capable of generating useful energy from the waves.…
Ocean wave energy is a new renewable energy resource which is going to become one of the reliable and alternative resources for fossil fuels during recent decades. The majority of studies have focused on extract wave energy at an effective…
This article explores how a submerged elastic plate, clamped at one edge, interacts with water waves. Submerged elastic plates have been considered as potentially effective design elements in the development of wave energy harvesters but…
This work investigates the consequences of imposing a volume constraint on the maximum power that can be absorbed from progressive regular incident waves by an attenuating line absorber heaving in a travelling wave mode. Under assumptions…
The presence of multiple stable states and associated nonlinear phenomena, such as hysteresis, in multistable mechanical metamaterials enables frequency-independent energy harvesting and shock absorption. This study focuses on shock…
Waves are propagating disturbances that redistribute energy across space. Previous studies have shown that for waves propagating through an inhomogeneously moving mean flow, the conserved quantity is wave action rather than wave energy,…
The standing surface waves in a rectangular vertically oscillating vessel filled with water (Faraday waves) in the presence of a floating elastic sheet are studied experimentally and theoretically. The threshold amplitude of the instability…
This study presents a proof-of-concept experimental investigation of a multi-buoy cooperative point-absorber wave energy converter (WEC). The proposed concept consists of an array of surface-penetrating buoys connected through a shared…
The present study focuses on direct numerical simulations of breaking waves generated by a wave plate at constant water depths. The aim is to quantify the dynamics and kinematics in the breaking process, together with the air entrainment…
The particle trajectories in irrotational, incompressible and inviscid deep-water surface gravity waves are open, leading to a net drift in the direction of wave propagation commonly referred to as the Stokes Drift, which is responsible for…
The coupled motion is investigated for a mechanical system consisting of water and a body freely floating in it. Water occupies either a half-space or a layer of constant depth into which an infinitely long surface-piercing cylinder is…
This paper provides a study of a flap-type wave energy converter with a hydraulic power-take-off (PTO) system. This study includes the derivation of its equation of motion along with an analysis of natural frequencies of the device. A…
In the recently introduced Variable-Shape heaving wave energy converters, the buoy changes its shape in response to changing incident waves actively. In this study, the dynamic model for a spherical Variable-Shape Wave Energy Converter is…

Recent research shows that the surface wave energy dissipation, which is the vertical energy flux across the air-sea interface, can be calculated as the product of air density, reference wind speed cubed and an energy transfer coefficient…
In this paper we compare the heave, surge, and pitch dynamics of a submerged cylindrical point absorber, simulated using potential flow and fully-resolved computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models. The potential flow model is based on the…
The atmosphere is a nonlinear stratified fluid in which internal gravity waves are present. These waves interact with the flow, resulting in wave turbulence that displays important differences with the turbulence observed in isotropic and…
We discuss the hydrodynamics of a wave energy converter consisting of two vertically floating, coaxial cylinders connected by dampers and allowed to heave, sway and roll. This design, viable in deep water and able to extract energy…
A bouncing droplet, self-propelled by its interaction with the waves it generates, forms a classical wave-particle association called a "walker." Previous works have demonstrated that the dynamics of a single walker is driven by its global…
Here, through a systematic methodology and the use of high performance computing, we calculate the optimum shape for a wave energy converter under the action of incident waves of (i) monochromatic unidirectional, (ii) monochromatic…
