TextSeries: Cambridge ocean technology series: Publisher: London Cambridge University Press 2020Edition: Second edition.Description: 1 online resource (ix, 307 pages) : digital, PDF file(s).ISBN: 9781108674812 (ebook).Subject(s): Ocean waves | Ocean wave powerAdditional physical formats: Print version: : No titleDDC classification: 551.46/3 Online resources: Click here to access online Summary: Understand the interaction between ocean waves and oscillating systems with this useful new edition. With a focus on linear analysis of low-amplitude waves, you are provided with a thorough understanding of wave interactions, presented to be easily accessible to non-specialist readers. Topics covered include the background mathematics of oscillations, gravity waves on water, the dynamics of wave-body interactions, and the absorption of wave energy by oscillating bodies and oscillating water columns. Featuring new content throughout, including three new chapters on oscillating-body wave energy converters, oscillating water columns and other types of wave energy converters, and wave energy converter arrays, this book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and engineers who are new to the subject of wave energy conversion, as well as those with more experience.
