After more than a decade of planning, permitting, community outreach, drilling, cable-laying and construction, Oregon is now home to the largest-capacity wave energy testing facility in the world.

Despite many years of wave tank testing, SWEL says it's still putting the results together, with "performance & scale-up projections, numerical and techno-financial modeling, feasibility studies and ...

Controlling submerged and partially submerged bodies, whose motions are coupled hydrodynamically, is one of our primary research areas. An array of wave energy converters (WECs) is one example where ...

Before a massive container ship ever touches the ocean, engineers often test a miniature version in specialized wave tanks to predict how the real vessel will behave at sea. In this video we explore ...
