Hydrodynamic Performance of Rectangular Heaving Buoys for an Integrated Floating Breakwater

Recently, the integrated development of wave energy converters and breakwaters has become popular, moving from traditional passive wave absorption to active energy capture. In this study, rectangular heaving buoys are considered as floating breakwater modules to absorb wave energy. A numerical wave...
