and it has not been possible to investigate the range during tank testing. However our testing to date confirms that it is entirely feasible to adjust the natural period of oscillation of the device to match the predominant wave period maximizing the conversion efficiency using the above tactics. Accordingly we have conducted extensive numerical modeling, and will continue with this, to inform our physical tank testing . PreTesting of the 1/20th scale model in the UoM basin will permit us to validate our numerical modeling and also to verify our methods of physically adjusting the device configuration from wave case to wave case maximizing conversion efficiency. The numerical modeling approach adopted is the subject of a separate report also addresses air compressibility effects which have to be taken into account. A detailed description of how the strategy is physically implemented and the tactics used is given in section 4.6 above.
