dc.description.abstractA comprehensive review of flapping foils for Wave Devouring Propulsion (WDP) is presented. The flapping foil can effectively utilize wave energy and generate thrust. The development of WDP is discussed, followed by an introduction to the geometry, modes of motion, and operating principles. These research studies are classified as theoretical, experimental, and numerical and are provided in detail. They demonstrate that marine equipment with a flapping foil system can achieve high energy conversion efficiency and low resistance. Several prototypes of the combination of WDP with human-crewed and uncrewed vessels have been shown, including the latest initial concept models and company products. There is a huge prospect for self-driven, pollution-free propulsion of marine devices, and this paper suggests several future studies.en_UK
