Constructal Design of an Overtopping Wave Energy Converter Incorporated in a Breakwater

A numerical study was performed in the present work about an Overtopping Device Wave Energy Converter (OTD-WEC) with one and two ramps incorporated in a real breakwater. The Constructal Design method was applied to evaluate the effects on the average dimensionless overtopping flow of the degrees of...
