... Mangroves can attenuate wave energy efficiently. However, the effect of a mangrove canopy on wave attenuation is controversial. A series of laboratory experiments under regular waves were conducted to investigate the hydrodynamic variations affected by varying mangrove morphology configurations of four...

... ABSTRACT Currently, there are many different wave energy converters. Their levelized cost of energy of extracting wave energy are still much higher than other matured renewables. The findings of the review show that disagreements of levelized cost of energy are due to the different cost...

For blockage factors Af/At < 0.3 an increase in wave energy inside the structure towards a maximum of twice the incident wave energy has been...

... value of 97.5s), respectively. Most of large IG waves closely related to high swell waves appear at 190-315°. With the bispectral method, it is found that the bound wave energy only contributed a small amount (at most 10%) of the observed IG wave energy at 25 m depth. Edge wave is the main component...

... Abstract The paper introduces a wind-wave coupling power generation system based on semi-submersible platform and the hydrodynamic performance and power conversion efficiency are considered. The two degree of freedom wave energy module is divided into three processes: single heave, single...

.... The results show that with increasing tide level, the surf zone moves onshore remarkably. In the presence of a sandbar, wave breaks in advance, cross–shore wave energy distribution changes, the long wave energy is reduced, and the short wave energy increases. INTRODUCTION In the context of global climate...

... model is trained to optimize the varying bathymetry that enables wave energy focusing, using the specified RNN outputs and loss function. We show that the trained RNN model successfully produces different varying bathymetries that are optimized to reflect and diffract incident wave energy to various...

... ABSTRACT The objective of this study is to discuss the hydrodynamic performance of a wave energy converter using floating panels. A scale model was built in the laboratory at Hohai University, and then was employed to investigate the performance of developed wave energy device. In the physical...
