To simulate the interaction of ocean waves with marine structures, coupling approaches
between a potential flow model and a viscous model are investigated. The first model is a …

This thesis is devoted to the mathematical modeling and numerical simulation of water
waves and their interaction with fixed bodies. A numerical wave tank is first developed within …

Wave Energy Converters Abstract Ocean waves represent an untapped source of …

The present paper reviews the recent developments of a high-order-spectral method (HOS)
and the combination with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method for wave-structure …

CFD simulations of floating wave energy converters are computationally very heavy. This
paper deals with a straightforward attempt to cut down on the computational effort by using …

In this paper we present and discuss the use of CFD for coupled mooring analysis of floating
wave energy converters. We use the two-phase Navier-Stokes finite volume solver in …

This thesis is devoted to the mathematical modeling and numerical simulation of interactions
between nonlinear ocean waves and fixed marine structures of arbitrary shape, which can …
