Some animals and plants have special functions and structures. They are the result of
biological evolution and Nature's ideas. The question to answer is how to use these …

In this paper we perform an analytical and numerical study of the performance of a wave
cycloidal rotor in irregular waves, with passively morphing foils and variable rotational …

Novel wave energy convertors (WECs) need to be designed to ensure both longevity and
hydrodynamic efficiency. Hence there is a need to develop methodologies that tackle both …

In this paper we perform an analytical and numerical study of the performance of a wave
cycloidal rotor in irregular waves, subject to different control strategies. The performance is …

Ocean waves offer an uninterrupted, rich resource of globally available renewable energy.
However, because of their high cost and low power production, commercial wave energy …

The six-degree-of-freedom (6 DOF) motion of the mother ship, especially the heave motion,
brings difficulties to offshore operations and even causes safety accidents. To ensure the …

Lift based wave energy converters (WECs) have shown great potential to harness the
energy of the waves. This type of device extracts energy using wave-driven rotating foils in …

Ocean waves provide a vast, uninterrupted resource of renewable energy collocated around
large coastal population centers. Clean energy from ocean waves can contribute to the local …

Since the energy of ocean wave exists mostly near the water surface and decreases
exponentially with depth, the resource of wave energy is measured in the line density unit …
