Modelling of Parametric Resonance for Heaving Buoys with Position-Varying Waterplane Area

Exploiting parametric resonance may enable increased performance for wave energy converters (WECs). By designing the geometry of a heaving WEC, it is possible to introduce a heave-to-heave Mathieu instability that can trigger parametric resonance. To evaluate the potential of such a WEC, a mathemati...
