title = "The hydrodynamics of a wave-power device in a tapered harbour",
abstract = "This paper considers the hydrodynamic performance of a single wave-power device placed at the end of a tapered harbour and set in a reflecting coastline. A relatively simple model, in which the harbour width is assumed to be much smaller than the incident wavelength, is used to calculate approximate values for the hydrodynamic coefficients and hence determine the energy absorbing capabilities of the device. A comparison is presented between a device in a rectangular harbour and one in a tapered harbour in order to make a preliminary assessment of the influence of the taper.",
