TY - JOUR TI - Comparison of methods for computing hydrodynamic characteristics of arrays of wave power devices AU - Mavrakos, S AU - McIver, P T2 - Applied Ocean Research AB - A comparison of methods for the calculation of the hydrodynamic characteristics of arrays of wave power devices is presented. In particular, the plane-wave approximation and an exact multiple scattering formulation have been used to compute exciting wave forces, hydrodynamic coefficients and q factors for arrays of interacting wave power devices. The results obtained are compared with each other, and accuracy aspects of the computations are stressed and critically assessed.
