Experimental validation of Orcaflex-based numerical models for the PEWEC device
Ocean Engineering, 2023 To design a Wave Energy Converter mooring system that ensures maintainability, resistance, and low costs, without affecting productivity, it is necessary to foster reliable numerical models. In the present paper, the validation of Orcaflex & COPY; simulations against the experiment results of the Pendulum Wave Energy Converter (PEWEC) 1:25 scale model,

Ocean Engineering, 2023 The mooring system can affect the motion and energy output characteristics of a WEC. This study investigated the effects of an SPM mooring system in a M4 6-float WEC. The scaled model of M4 was modelled via both Orcaflex and experimental approaches. Compared with experimental results, the accuracy of the numerical results was found to be sensitive to ...
