Motion Response and Energy Conversion Performance of a Heaving Point Absorber Wave Energy Converter

The heaving wave energy converter (WEC) is one typical type of point absorber WECs with high energy conversion efficiency but significantly affected by the viscous effect. It is widely known that the bottom shape of such WECs plays an important role in influencing the viscosity, so a detailed qualit...
