Numerical analysis of operation of a Wave Energy Converter (WEC) using CFD
Enfoque UTE, 2023 The present study numerically analyzes, using CFD, the operation of a wave energy converter (WEC) with local sea conditions. The dynamics of the device caused by the propagation of the waves was characterized in the commercial software ANSYS Fluent applying domain reduction criteria, structured cells, and dynamic mesh with 6DOF.

Experimental study of a floating two-body wave energy converter
Renewable Energy, 2023 13 A novel floating two-body wave energy converter (WEC) is tested in regular waves. The WEC 14 consists of a streamlined conical outer buoy that surrounds an elongated inner buoy, with a hydraulic 15 power take-off (PTO) system and an optimized mooring ...

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2019 The influence of the central platform on hydrodynamic performance of a wave energy converter (WEC) has remained elusive. To approach this dearth of relevant theoretical research, this paper presents a semi-submerged multi-buoy WEC and the results of the ...
