The Wave Dragon is a wave energy converter of the overtopping type which has been developed by a European consortium during the last five years. It uses a set of low head water turbines as power takeoff system. In the course of a two year research programme the basic conception of the turbines has been established, the turbine geometry has been designed and a model turbine has been built and te...

In this paper, an energetic wave propagation model that reproduces shoaling, refraction, diffraction, waveecurrent interaction, bottom friction and wave breaking is modified to simulate also the processes of overtopping and wave transmission over and through permeable coastal structures. This enhances the capabilities of the model and allows to obtain, at a low computational cost, a better repr...

The present study aims to analyze the state of art scientific studies about Overtopping device used convert sea wave energy into electrical energy, by means Bibliometric methodology. development this took place through selection articles from conference proceedings, as well national and international journals. methodology consists a statistical tool that allows quantifying measurement productio...

Conventionally, allowable mean overtopping discharge is used as a design criterion for coastal structures. The needs to be limited ensure structural stability well the safety of people, vehicles, and properties behind structure. Nowadays, limits maximum individual volumes are also specified in manuals, which requires study wave wave-by-wave form. In some cases, order achieve more reliable pedes...
