... of directional spreading on the performance of the WECs. Significant reductions of power output have been found in multi-directional seas. INTRODUCTION There have been many designs or concepts to harness wave power from the ocean. Wave energy converters (WECs) can be divided into different groups according...

... the reflection coefficient and the wave force are investigated. INTRODUCTION A perforated wall breakwater with a wave-absorbing chamber between the perforated front plate and the solid back wall is initially proposed by Jarlan (1961). Due to its significant effect of reduction of the wave reflection...

... ABSTRACT: This research presents a comparison data report on surface-water seasonal fluctuation for infiltrating water intake; estimates how bottom ice and bed-material/sediments freezing causes reduction in infiltrative water-intake capacity in frazil ice water. It recommends method...

In other cases the piles are driven and then cement grout IS injected through tubes that pass down the inside and through the walls of the pile. The latter are referred to as driven and grouted piles. reduction transfer...
