This paper presents a review of recent progress of numerical wave tank (NWT) research and
development. A wide variety of 2-D and 3-D NWT have been developed for simulating wave …

Nonlinear interactions between large waves and freely floating bodies are investigated by a
2D fully nonlinear numerical wave tank (NWT). The fully nonlinear 2D NWT is developed …

The responses of offshore structures are significantly affected by steep nonlinear waves,
currents and wind, leading to phenomena such as springing and ringing of TLPs, slow drift …

Two depth inversion algorithms (DIA) applicable to coastal waters are developed, calibrated,
and validated based on results of computations of periodic waves shoaling over mild slopes …

A numerical wave tank based on the coupling of a Boundary Element model, solving tully
nonlinear potential flow equations, and a Volume Of Fluid model solving Navier-Stokes …

A numerical model is developed to simulate fully nonlinear transient waves in a semi-infinite,
two-dimensional wave tank. A mixed Eulerian-Lagrangian formulation is adopted and a high …

The hydrodynamic performance of a vertical cylindrical heaving buoy‐type floating wave
energy converter under large‐amplitude wave conditions was calculated. For this study, a …
