Examples from the wave energy world are employed such as Wave Energy Converters (WECs), fixed or oscillating devices usually arranged in farms, that interact with the incoming waves and extract wave energy from them. As a result of the hydrodynamic interaction between the devices within a farm (so-called near-field effects), the power absorption of the farm is affected. Moreover, wave dissipation has been observed numerically (e.g. Troch et al., 2010) and in scale tests (e.g. Stratigaki et al., 2014; 2015) between the WEC farm location and e.g. the shoreline (so called far-field effects). These wave field changes can affect neighboring sea activities, coastal eco-systems, the coastline and even coastal defense conditions/parameters.}, number={36}, journal={Coastal Engineering Proceedings}, author={Stratigaki, Vasiliki and Troch, Peter and Forehand, David}, year={2018}, month={Dec.}, pages={waves.47} }
