The papers which follow were presented at an International Sym
posium held in Lisbon from 8-11 July 1985 on the Hydrodynamics of
Ocean Wave-Energy Utilization and sponsored by the Interna tional
Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics. The subject of the
Symposium embraced wave statistics, numerical methods, theoretical,
experimental and field studies of wave energy devices. The idea of
extracting useful energy from ocean waves continues to attract the
curiosity of scientists and engineers in many parts of the world as
the following papers indicate. Increasing ly the trend is towards
smaller devices suitable for use near remote island communities
where wave power, as an alternative to costly diesel fuel for
electric generators, is already very competitive in economic terms.
The decision to build two different prototype wave-power devices
into the cliffs off Bergen in Norway has provided a welcome impetus
to the field, stimulating a large amount of theoretical work on
oscillating water column-type devices. In particular phase control
methods - in which force and velocity of a rigid body, or pressure
and volume flux across a turbine are matched in phase to achieve
maximum power output - rightfully occupy a central place in the
papers that follow. In addition to the established workers in the
field, a new ge neration of wave-energy enthusiasts is emerging,
learning from the mistakes of others and contributing exciting
ideas of both a conceptual and practical nature."
