The behaviour of a single linear array of five equally spaced semi-immersed spheres, absorbing energy in a single mode from a regular wave train, is studied both for optimal tuning and for constrained body displacement amplitudes. This is extended to consideration of two parallel rows of such devices. Finally, the spheres are replaced by identical bodies of a particular geometry, containing a strong angular variation, which are studied using a thin-ship approximation.
