Urgency and significance underscore the need to harness altern ative energy sources\, displacing reliance on fossil fuels while ensuring energy security. Despite being an underused asset\, renewable energy holds immense promise\, potentially satisfying a notable percentage of global e nergy demands by 2050.\nI will discuss the modelling of arrays of wave ene rgy converters\, particularly in coastal waters. Devices in coastal waters are cost-effective measures that can achieve power generation while also ensuring coastal protection. The work is underpinned by mathematical model ling of an Elastically Moored Flexible Multibody Wave Energy Converter. Fu ll linear (potential flow) theory is the standard benchmark for model pred ictions of hydrodynamics of floating bodies and wave interactions between the bodies. Solutions are typically obtained in the frequency domain\, whe re the equations of motion for the bodies can be written in the form of a coupled damped harmonic oscillator (CDHO) model\, but with frequency depen dent coefficients owing to the coupling with the water.\n LOCATION:https://researchseminars.org/talk/UEA_mth/21/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
