Study on Hydrodynamic Characteristics of the Raft type Wave Powered Desalination 1st ed. 2018 edition

This thesis proposes a new raft-type wave-powered desalination device that can convert wave power into hydraulic energy and use reverse osmosis (RO) to directly desalinate seawater. Further, the thesis investigates the maximum power extraction and multiple parameter effects on power absorption and averaged permeate water flux.
