TY - CHAP TI - The Hydrodynamic Efficiency of Wave-Energy Devices AU - Evans, D T2 - Hydrodynamics of Ocean Wave-Energy Utilization AB - A description is given of theories leading to expressions for the mean power which can be extracted by one or more devices absorbing energy from a long-crested monochromatic wave. Extensions to constrained motions and various approximate methods are described and comparisons with more accurate numerical methods or experimental results made.Click here to view the book Hydrodynamics of Ocean Wave-Energy Utilization.
