Wave-attenuation efficiency of a floating distensible tube at different Keulegan–Carpenter numbers

Abstract A water-filled floating rubber tube is tested in a wave flume under regular waves of different steepness. The wave excited pressure bulges in the tube induce periodic oscillations of a forward-bent water column at its stern, which in turn activate a pneumatic power take-off system. The purp...
