Ocean Waves and Oscillating Systems: Volume 8
Cambridge University Press (Verlag)
978-1-108-48166-3 (ISBN)
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.
Johannes Falnes is a professor emeritus of experimental physics at the Department of Physics of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology noted for his contributions to wave-energy research. He is one of the pioneers of modern wave-energy research. Adi Kurniawan is a research fellow at the Oceans Graduate School of the University of Western Australia where he conducts research on wave energy. When the book manuscript was drafted and completed, he was an assistant professor at the Department of Civil Engineering of Aalborg University. His research has appeared in scholarly journals such as the Journal of Fluid Mechanics and Proceedings of the Royal Society.
