A wave farm (wave power farm or wave energy park) is a group of colocated wave energy devices. The devices interact hydrodynamically and electrically, according to the number of machines, spacing and layout, wave climate, coastal and benthic geometry, and control strategies.
The PTO system is the second main component of an OWC device. It converts the pneumatic power into a desired energy source (i.e. sound or electricity). The PTO system design is very important to the efficiency of the oscillating water column. It must be able to convert airflow going both out of and into the collecting chamber into energy.
The term marine energy encompasses both wave power i.e. power from surface waves, and tidal power i.e. obtained from the kinetic energy of large bodies of moving water. Offshore wind power is not a form of marine energy, as wind power is derived from the wind , even if the wind turbines are placed over water.
As with all wave forms, it spreads outward from the source until its energy is overcome or lost, usually by friction or dispersion. The non-dimensional parameter of interest is the Froude number .

The Department of Energy announced a $22 million grant to fund wave energy research by private companies and universities in January 2022. [3] Academic institutions conducting wave energy research include Portland State University, the University of Washington, and the O.H. Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory at Oregon State University.

SDE Sea Wave is a type of renewable energy power plant technology utilizing sea wave energy for the production of electricity. The SDE Sea Wave technology was developed by the Israeli company S.D.E. Energy LTD from 1996 to 2014. [ 1 ]

By definition, different streamlines at the same instant in a flow do not intersect, because a fluid particle cannot have two different velocities at the same point. However, pathlines are allowed to intersect themselves or other pathlines (except the starting and end points of the different pathlines, which need to be distinct).
