Effects of second-order hydrodynamics on the efficiency of a wave energy array

This paper considers power absorption by a square array of four heaving truncated cylinders subject to monochromatic incident waves, where the hydrodynamic calculations are correct to second-order. This idealised WEC array is of particular interest as it supports a near-trapped mode which offers the...
