Coupled Mooring Analyses for the WEC-Sim Wave Energy Converter Design Tool [PDF]
Volume 6: Ocean Space Utilization; Ocean Renewable Energy, 2016 A wave-energy-converter-specific time-domain modeling method (WEC-Sim) was coupled with a lumped-mass-based mooring model (MoorDyn) to improve its mooring dynamics modeling capability. This paper presents a verification and validation study on the coupled numerical method.
