KNSwing—On the Mooring Loads of a Ship-Like Wave Energy Converter
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2019 The critical function of keeping a floating Wave Energy Converter in position is done by a mooring system. Several WECs have been lost due to failed moorings, indicating that extreme loads, reliability and durability are very important aspects.

Evaluation of the Viscous Drag for a Domed Cylindrical Moored Wave Energy Converter
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2019 Viscous drag, nonlinear in nature, is an important aspect of the fluid−structure interaction modelling and is usually not taken into account when the fluid is assumed to be inviscid. Potential flow solvers can competently compute radiation damping,

Motions Assessment Using a Time Domain Approach for a Research Ship in Antarctic Waters
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 An approach combining frequency and time domain analysis is introduced in this study for ship motions assessment. The open-source NEMOH code is utilized to compute the excitation forces and the hydrodynamic coefficients, while heave and pitch motions ...

Influence of directional wave spreading on a WEC device
International Marine Energy Journal, 2022 Wave Energy Converter (WEC) performance is generally sensitive to the wave direction. So, it is important to include the effect of multi-directional waves in numerical modelling.
