Performance of a two-body wave energy converter with an annular heave plate
We theoretically examine the performance of a two-body wave energy converter (WEC) featuring a floating sphere and a submerged annular heave plate, connected by a power take-off (PTO) system. Utilising linear wave theory, we derive the system’s frequency-

A Hybrid CFD and Potential Flow Motion Analysis of Spar Buoys with Damping-Enhanced Appendages
This study investigates the hydrodynamic response of a spar-type buoy equipped with a solid, perforated, and novel corrugated plate appendage introduced here for the first time to enhance motion damping.

Degrees of freedom effects on a laboratory scale WEC point absorber
There are many archetypes of wave energy converters (WEC) that vary widely in operating principles, geometry, controls, number of bodies, and degrees of freedom (DOF).

Comparison of Potential Flow and CFD for a Column With Heave Plate
Floating offshore wind turbines can only withstand a limited amount of (heave) motions before the equipment fails. In order to reduce the heave motion, the DeepCwind floater for offshore floating wind turbines makes use of heave plates. This semi-submersible floater consists of three cylindrical columns with a heave plate attached to the bottom of each
