Efficient Nonlinear Response Determination of an Array of OWC Energy Harvesters

Available to Purchase

Giovanni Malara, Pol D. Spanos
Proc. ASME. OMAE2020, Volume 9: Ocean Renewable Energy, V009T09A040, August 3–7, 2020
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers
Paper No: OMAE2020-19306
https://doi.org/10.1115/OMAE2020-19306
... is considered in several engineering applications, where the OWCs are embedded in coastal infrastructures, such as vertical breakwaters. In this context, the water columns are likely to be placed nearby. Thus, interactions among chambers occur because of wave radiation phenomena. This article describes...

An Experimental Study of Effects of Water Depth on Wave Scattering and Motion Responses of a Moored Floating Breakwater in Regular Waves

Available to Purchase

Zhenhua Huang, Wenbin Zhang
Proc. ASME. OMAE2011, Volume 6: Ocean Engineering, 411-418, June 19–24, 2011
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers
Paper No: OMAE2011-49505
https://doi.org/10.1115/OMAE2011-49505
... 01 11 2011 Due to the mobility and low costs, floating breakwaters have been frequently considered as alternatives for protecting marinas and harbors from wave attacks. Main advantages of using floating breakwaters include (i) the exchange of water between a harbor and ocean, and (ii...

Calibration of Mobilized Soil Strength During Installation of Suction Piles

Available to Purchase

E. C. Burg, B. A. Frankl, L. M. Metz, S. Bang
Proc. ASME. OMAE2006, Volume 2: Ocean Engineering and Polar and Arctic Sciences and Technology, 19-25, June 4–9, 2006
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers
Paper No: OMAE2006-92020
https://doi.org/10.1115/OMAE2006-92020
... 07 10 2008 An innovative breakwater system has been introduced for use in areas with thick soft seafloor, utilizing suction piles as the foundations. Gravity-type concrete caissons are placed on top, which resist the lateral loads caused by the wind and waves to protect the harbor...
