This review focuses on the most suitable form of hydrodynamic modeling for the next
generation wave energy converter (WEC) design tools. To design and optimize a WEC, it is …

Computational fluid dynamics for ship hydrodynamics has made monumental progress over
the last ten years, which is reaching the milestone of providing first-generation simulation …

Simulations of zigzag maneuvers of the Postdam Model Basin (SVA) Korean container ship
(KCS) model with moving rudder and rotating propeller are presented. Free running KCS …

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 …

Achieving a reliable and accurate numerical prediction of the self-propulsion performance of
a ship is still an open problem that poses some relevant issues. Several CFD methods …

The wave energy industry has grown considerably over the past two decades, developing
many different technologies, but still has not achieved economic viability. Economic …

Evaluating the interactions between offshore structures and extreme waves plays an
essential role for securing the survivability of the structures. For this purpose, various …

Wave reflections at the wave-maker are a common problem in experiments and simulations
of free-surface flow around bodies in waves. To overcome this problem in numerical …

A numerical method, which combines the boundary element method (BEM) and the volume
of the fluid method (VOF method), has been presented to solve wave–structure interactions; …
