Abstract

The paper discusses results of regular wave tests conducted at the University of Naples “Federico II” with the purpose of investigating the qualitative features and the magnitude of the wave pressures acting onto the front face of a Seawave Slot-Cone Generator (SSG). Various wave conditions have been considered, ranging from standing to plunging. Calculation formulae for engineering applications are proposed and discussed.
