Abstract

M3 Wave’s APEX is a submerged, stationary wave energy “area absorber” that harnesses the pressure wave under ocean waves and swells. Based on open-water pilot testing in 2014, sediment scour was identified as a critical impediment to long
term survivability and operations and maintenance (O&M) cost for the system. There are limited analytical tools and minimal historical knowledge for bottom-mounted complex geometries in the near-shore environment. This project is developing a new generation of analytical tools that can be applied to different near-shore structures including surge flappers, shallow water area absorbers, and similar structures. The project will utilize 1:10 scale tank testing, complete with sediment, to validate the numerical models.
