Abstract:This study examines the impact of the spacing parameter on the efficacy of an array of hybrid modules functioning as both floating breakwaters and wave energy converters. The dual functionality is ensured by the ability of the device to autoadjust its submergence. The behavior of multiple 1:40 scaled modules was tested in the wave tank of the University of Campania “Luigi Vanvitelli”. The objective was to assess the hydraulic performance of the array by analyzing transmission, reflection, and dissipation coeff… Show more
