3. Elements of yield and technical-economic analysis
3.1 Typical capture widths and efficiencies of wave motors
The capture width of a wave motor system B J is defined as the ratio of its power input P abs to the energy flux transported by the wave per meter of wavefront J :
This ratio is homogeneous to a length. It can be interpreted as the equivalent wavefront width (peak length) that has been totally...
