A three-dimensional panel method using Neumann–Kelvin method is presented for the transient wave-body interaction problems in order to absorb maximum power from the sea. The exact initial boundary value problem is linearized about a uniform flow, and recast as an integral equation using the...

This paper presents a time-domain numerical simulator of oscillating water column (OWC) wave power plants. The whole problem (the simulation of the movements of the inner free surface due to the excitation of the outer sea-waves) is split into two subproblems: an outer one, dealing with the...

Experimental results from near shore bottom standing OWC based wave energy plants in Japan and India have now been available for about a decade. Historically the weakest link in the conversion efficiency of OWC based wave energy plants built so far has been the bidirectional turbine. This is...

Extracting wave energy from seas has been proven to be very difficult although various technologies have been developed since 1970s. Among the proposed technologies, only few of them have been actually progressed to the advanced stages such as sea trials or pre-commercial sea trial and...

This study applies wavelet analysis to examine the relationship between the U.S. real estate and stock markets over the period 1890-2012. Wavelet analysis allows the simultaneous examination of co-movement and causality between the two markets in both the time and frequency domains. Our findings...

The present work applies several advanced spectral methods to the analysis of macroeconomic fluctuations in three countries of the European Union: Italy, The Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. We focus here in particular on singular-spectrum analysis (SSA), which provides valuable spatial and...

This study applies wavelet analysis to examine the relationship between the U.S. real estate and stock markets over the period 1890-2012. Wavelet analysis allows the simultaneous examination of co-movement and causality between the two markets in both the time and frequency domains. Our findings...

The Westervelt wave equation can be used to describe non-linear propagation of finite amplitude sound. If one assumes that the medium can be treated as a thermoviscous fluid, a loss mechanism can be incorporated, but such a loss mechanism is not adequate if the medium is dispersive. In order to...

In this paper we quantify the impact of model mis-specification on the properties of parameter estimators applied to fractionally integrated processes. We demonstrate the asymptotic equivalence of four alternative parametric methods: frequency domain maximum likelihood, Whittle estimation, time...
