For the research and development (R&D) of wave energy converters (WECs), numerical
wave tanks (NWTs) provide an excellent numerical tool, enabling a cost-effective testbed for …

The wave energy sector has made and is still doing a great effort in order to open up a niche
in the energy market, working on several and diverse concepts and making advances in all …

A numerical method based on a two-phase level set with the global mass correction and
immersed boundary method is developed here to simulate wave interaction with a semi …

The study of ways of converting ocean wave energy into a useful one and the improvement
of the existing equipment are complex engineering problems and very important issues in …

The hydrodynamic performance of Oscillating Water Column (OWC) wave energy converters
depends mainly on the behaviour of the wave–OWC interaction. In this paper, a fully …

There is a considerable amount of wave energy that can be extracted from the oceans. This
energy is largely untapped. Oscillating Water Column (OWC) is a mechanical system that …

This study presents a three-dimensional numerical simulation of a circular bottom-sitting
OWC device for wave energy extraction. The numerical model is based on Reynolds …

Ocean wave energy has been of interest since at least the mid-1970s and great advances in
the understanding of the fundamental principles of wave energy extraction and converter …

In this study, a numerical analysis of the performance of two Oscillating Water Column
(OWC) wave energy converters, at different front and back wall slopes, was carried out. The …

The most studied device used for extracting wave energy is the Oscillating Water Column
(OWC). In general, numerical simulations of these cases by means of models based on …
