Abstract Small moving vehicles represent an important category of marine engineering tools and devices (equipment) typically used for ocean resource detection
and maintenance of marine rights and interests. The lack of efficient power supply
modes is one of the technical bottlenecks restricting the effective utilisation of this
type of equipment. In this work, the performance characteristics of a new type of
elastic-blade/wave-energy converter (EBWEC) and its core energy conversion
component (named wave energy absorber) are comprehensively studied. In particular, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations and experiments have
been used to analyze the hydrodynamics and performance characteristics of the
EBWEC. The pressure… More >
