Geometry Optimisation of a Wave Energy Converter
EnergiesThe geometry optimisation of a point-absorber wave energy converter, focusing on the increase in energy absorption derived from heave forces, was performed. The proposed procedure starts by developing an initial geometry, which is later evaluated in terms of hydrodynamics and optimised through an optimisation algorithm to tune the shape parameters that

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.We report a unique color‐sensing phenomenon of a TiO2/SbSI:Sb2S3 device utilizing X‐ray absorption. Based on the revealed penetration and adsorption of water onto TiO2, we successfully improved the color response speed and sensitivity by incorporating a hydrophilic polymer interlayer, thereby opening up opportunities for photodetection applications ...

The Force of a Tsunami on a Wave Energy Converter
, 2012 With an increasing emphasis on renewable energy resources, wave power technology is fast becoming a realistic solution. However, the recent tsunami in Japan was a harsh reminder of the ferocity of the ocean. It is known that tsunamis are nearly undetectable in the open ocean but as the wave approaches the shore its energy is compressed creating large ...
