The development of wave energy has attracted wide attention. This paper proposes a conceptual design of a station featuring direct drive 3-degree-of-freedom (3-DoF) wave energy converter (SJTU-WEC), of which the numerical and experimental performances are studied. This article first introduces...

Over the past few decades, the exploitation and utilization of wave energy have attracted increasing interest, and scholars from various countries have gradually focused on analyzing the composition of multiple wave energy converts arrays to utilize wave energy in an efficient, stable and...

This paper experimentally investigates the wave energy extraction for propulsion of semi-active hydrofoils used in wave glider. For the case of NACA 0012 foil section, heave amplitude [[EQUATION]] =1.0 chord, Reynolds number [[EQUATION]] , a series of flapping experiments were carried out. We...
