Abstract

This paper presents an expression describing the vertical distribution of overtopping, the experimental work leading to this, as well as the use of the expression for numerical optimization of the geometrical layout of the multi level overtopping based wave energy converter Seawave Slot-cone Generator. The numerical optimization is also assisted by further experimental investigations focused on optimization of the finer details of the concept with respect to amount of potential energy in the overtopping water.
