Previous investigations of the large-scale deployment of Ocean Thermal Energy Conversions (OTEC) systems are extended by allowing some atmospheric feedback in an ocean general circulation model. A modified ocean-atmosphere thermal boundary condition

An open source numerical wave tank based on the OpenFOAM ® software was setup and tested to solve the Navier–Stokes equations. This work focused on submerged plates because of their simple geometry, their importance as a design component (e.g., he

A simple algorithm previously used to evaluate steady-state global Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) resources is extended to probe the effect of various effluent discharge methodologies. It is found that separate evaporator and condenser discha

Hydrostatic pressure is one of the most elementary notions encountered in the fields of naval architecture and marine engineering. Its presentation in textbooks is not always clear, however, especially for floating bodies in the presence of waves. Th

Published results for the maximum wave power absorption by slender bodies subjected to vertical deformations are extended. To this end, a more general form of the Kochin function is derived for floating or submerged slender bodies of arbitrary (asymm

A simple approach is described to estimate the wave power absorption potential of submerged devices known to cause wave focusing and flow enhancement. In particular, the presence of a flow-through power take-off (PTO) system, such as low-head turbine

Global Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) resources are assessed for the first time with an ocean general circulation model (OGCM). Large-scale OTEC operations are represented with fluid sources and sinks of prescribed strength in global (4° ×

A model to predict wave power conversion from arbitrary arrays of oscillating water columns is presented. Based on linear potential theory and idealized non-diffracting machines, it relies on a published analytical solution for the flow field generat

While the importance of environmental analyses based on isotope discrimination has been growing, uncertainties remain about underlying phenomena. Published results on the temperature dependence of carbon isotope fractionation during methane oxidation
