Experimental Validation of a Wave Energy Converter Array Hydrodynamics Tool

Experimental Validation of a Wave Energy Converter Array Hydrodynamics Tool

This paper uses experimental data to validate a wave energy converter (WEC) array hydrodynamics tool developed within the context of linearized potential flow theory. To this end, wave forces and power absorption by an array of five-point absorber WECs in monochromatic and panchromatic waves were me...
