Increasing frequency of extreme weather events, driven by climate change, coupled with
growing population densities, have contributed to an increasing demand for coastal …

The hydrodynamic characteristics of perforated caissons are significantly influenced by the
viscous fluid motion near the perforations on the front wall. Consequently, models designed …

A multiple Oscillating Water Column (OWC) device may provide better wave absorption over
a wider frequency bandwidth than a single-chamber OWC due to multiple resonances. The …

This paper proposes a 2D diffusive weakly-compressible Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics
(SPH) model to simulate wave loads and hydraulic characteristics at perforated breakwaters …

In this paper, a novel hybrid breakwater-WEC system consisting of a Helmholtz resonance
oscillating water column (OWC) caisson array and a perforated wall is proposed to attenuate …

In this paper, a semi-analytical solution was derived from the linear potential flow theory
using the matching eigenfunction method to investigate hydrodynamic characteristics of a …

A feasibility study for installing Wave Energy Converters (WECs) in a Mediterranean port is
presented here. The final aim is to evaluate the possibility of building a green touristic …

A hybrid structure of pile-supported wharf connecting with pile breakwater is tested in a
flume with a scale factor of 1: 30. Based on generating regular and irregular waves and …

A breakwater-WEC system combining heaving body Wave Energy Converters (WEC) and
Comb-Type Breakwater (CTB) was investigated. The traditional CTB consists of a distributed …

In this study, a wave generation boundary capable of absorbing secondary reflections is
embedded in an OpenFOAM-based numerical toolbox to model the wave-structure …
