Hydrodynamic tools reveal information as to the behaviour of a device in the presence of
waves but provide little information on how to improve or optimise the device. With no recent …

For renewable ocean wave energy to support global energy demands, wave energy
converters (WECs) will likely be deployed in large numbers (farms), which will necessarily …

There is growing interest for water-wave flows through arrangements of cylinders with
application to the performance of porous marine structures and environmental flows in …

Testing model scale prototypes is integral to the development of wave energy converter
(WEC) technology. Model scale WECs are tested in wave tanks where they are subjected to …

This study presents a numerical model of a WEC array. The model will be used in
subsequent work to study the ability of data assimilation to support power prediction from …

Numerical models of wave energy converters (WECs) have been successfully used since
the 1970s to understand a device's characteristics and improve its performance before …
