Abstract: An open-source computational fluid dynamics (CFD) package, openfoam, is extended and applied to study the power takeoff (PTO) efficiency absorbed by an Edinburgh nodding duck wave energy converter (WEC) device installed ...

Abstract: A time-domain numerical model with the linear free surface condition and large amplitude body motions is developed based on the higher-order boundary element method. Five numerical formulations are used to compute the ...

Abstract: A wave power device comprising a floating circular buoy on the water surface and a submerged cylinder on the sea floor has been proposed in previous studies. This paper considers the wave interaction with a stationary wave ...
