This paper generalises existing approaches for free-surface wave damping via momentum
sinks for flow simulations based on the Navier-Stokes equations. It is shown in 2D flow …

One of the main stages in the design of wave energy converters (WEC's) is the numerical
modelling of a given converter. In this paper, the numerical simulation of both linear deep …

The hydrodynamic and power capture performance of an asymmetric floating device called
“Dolphin” wave energy converter (WEC) integrated with a fixed breakwater has been …

Wave energy resources are enormous and widely distributed worldwide and evaluated as
resources to replace fossil fuels. One of the methods to collect wave energy is using a point …

With the growth registered in computational power, numerical models applied to fluid flows
is an increasingly important tool for oceanic and coastal engineering, and can be used in …

Abstract Commercial Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) code ANSYS–CFX which solves
the Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes Equations (RANSE) is used to simulate waves in a …

Ocean waves are the most important exciting source acting on marine structures such as
ships, offshore platforms and wave energy converters. To efficiently design such structures …

A comparison of a tidal turbine's performance and structural loads is conducted using lab-
scale numerical models and experimental testing under multiple current-only and wave …

This work presents a two-dimensional numerical analysis of a wave channel and a
oscillating water column (OWC) device. The main goal is to validate a methodology which …

In the design of any floating or fixed marine structure, it is vital to test models in order to
understand the fluid/structure interaction involved. A relatively inexpensive method …
