SPH-based modeling of a direct-drive WEC in extreme waves and currents

open access: yesApplied Ocean Research
In this work, we present a fully Lagrangian framework specifically tailored to host point absorber WECs under violent wave–current excitations.

SPH-integrated chamber model applied to floating OWC devices: 2-D and 3-D analysis

open access: yesApplied Ocean Research
In this work, we present the implementation and validation of an analytical chamber model, coupled to a single-phase Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) approach, to mimic the pneumatic power take-off (PTO) characterizing an Oscillating Water Column ...

Hydraulic Design Optimization of a Multi-Stage Overtopping Wave Energy Converter Using WCSPH Methodology Under Site-Specific Wave Conditions

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering
In multi-level overtopping wave energy converters (OWEC), the inlet slot governs overtopping losses and the distribution of inflow among reservoirs, making it a critical design feature for maximizing hydraulic efficiency.

Impact of focused wave groups on pier structures: a case study of severe breaking waves at Pont del Petroli during storm Gloria

open access: yesFrontiers in Built Environment
In January 2020, the footbridge connecting the seaward platform of the Pont del Petroli pier to Badalona beach collapsed due to the severe sea storm named Gloria. Approximately 15 m of the footbridge fell into the sea as a result of prolonged wave action

Numerical Study of Wave Reflection by The Curtain Wall-Pile Breakwater Using the SPH Model

open access: yesJournal of the Civil Engineering Forum
The Curtain Wall-Pile Breakwater (CPB) is comprised of a precast concrete wall structure that is upheld by pillars. The effectiveness of this breakwater has been extensively examined through experimental and numerical approaches in comparison to the ...
