This paper addresses the current status and future research and development perspectives
associated with technologies to harness offshore renewable energy, including offshore …

Tsunamis are rare events with severe consequences. This generates a high demand on
accurate simulation results for planning and risk assessment purposes because of the low …

Wave energy is a nascent industry characterized by high capital costs, which impede
technological development and industry expansion. For this reason, new strategies are …

The development of new wave energy converters has shed light on a number of
unanswered questions in fluid mechanics, but has also identified a number of new issues of …

Abstract The Oscillating Wave Surge Converter (OWSC) has been widely adopted in energy
extraction from sea waves in recent years, particularly in relatively shallow water areas. In …

In this paper, we present the VOLNA-OP2 tsunami model and implementation; a finite-
volume non-linear shallow-water equation (NSWE) solver built on the OP2 domain-specific …

We solve the nonlinear shallow water-wave equations over a linearly sloping beach as an
initial-boundary value problem under general initial conditions, ie, an initial wave profile with …

Wave power is a potential technology for generating sustainable renewable energy. Several
types of wave energy converters (WECs) have been proposed for this purpose. WECs …

Although a tsunami wave in deep sea can be simulated using linear shallow water theory,
the wave dynamics of a tsunami running up a continental shelf is very complex, and different …

In this paper, the performance of an adapted design of a 0.6 m impulse turbine in a new
wave energy conversion device—the Dolphin device—is evaluated. This study is focused on …
