Abstract
Wave impacts on an Oscillating Wave Surge Converter are examined
using experimental and numerical methods. The mechanics
of the impact event are identified experimentally with the use of
images recorded with a high speed camera. It is shown that it is
the device which impacts the wave rather than a breaking wave
impacting the device. Numerical simulations using two different
approaches are used to further understand the issue. Good agreement
is shown between numerical simulations and experimental
measurements at 25th scale.
