Hydrodynamic Design Optimization and Wave Tank Testing of Self-Reacting Two-Body Wave Energy Converter
… renewable energy sources. The total available wave energy resource for the United States alone is 2,640 TWh/yr; nearly two thirds of the 4,000 TWh of electricity used in the United States each year. It is estimated that nearly half of that available energy is recoverable through wave energy …

An experimental investigation into the most prominent sources of uncertainty in wave tank testing of floating offshore wind turbines
… Floating offshore wind platforms must undergo wave tank testing in the early stages of development to assess model responses to different wave and wind conditions. Wave tank testing, while highly beneficial, is liable to errors arising throughout the testing campaign. Errors can arise during …

DYNAMICS OF A SUBMERSIBLE MUSSEL RAFT
… of a submersible mussel raft were analyzed using wave tank testing, numerical modeling, and full-scale field tests. When submerged, the raft’s pontoons are flooded, and it is held vertically by lines attached to surface floats and horizontally by a spread mooring. This submerged configuration is …
