An early detection of deliberate or accidental oil spills can reduce serious hazards that may threaten coastal residents and help identify pollutants. Iran has been surrounded by seas from the north and the south and they provide u...
متن کاملA Floating Platform with Embedded Wave Energy Harvesting Arrays in Regular and Irregular Seas
This paper presents a study on a cost-effective engineering model that integrates an array of floating wave energy converters with a vast platform, a viable option for multi-functional performance in renewable energy capture and ocean space utilization. The wave energy converters are floating buoyance columns flexibly connected with the elastic platform. Hydrodynamic interactions among the colu...
