A Novel and More Efficient Oscillating Foil for Wave-Driven Unmanned Surface Vehicles

In the wave-driven unmanned surface vehicles (WUSVs), oscillating-foils are the most straightforward and widely used wave energy conversion mechanism, like the wave glider. However, WUSVs usually sail slowly compared with other types of USVs. Improving the thrust of the oscillating foil to increase...
