TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented two-dimensional numerical results of the dependence of wave forces of multiple floating bodies in close proximity on the incident wave frequency, gap width, body draft, body breadth and body number based on both viscous fluid and potential flow models.

TL;DR: In this article, numerical simulations are conducted to compare the performances of a fixed-blade vertical-axis turbine (VAT), and a variable pitch VAT whose blades are forced to do sinusoidal pitching.

TL;DR: In this paper, a two-dimensional numerical wave flume is established based on finite element and volume of fluid (VOF) methods for incompressible viscous flow, and the numerical model is used to simulate waves interacting with single and double horizontal floating cylinders perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.

TL;DR: In this article, a two-dimensional hybrid numerical model, FEM-LES-VOF, for free surface flows is proposed, which is a combination of three-step Taylor-Galerkin finite element method, large eddy simulation with the Smagorinsky sub-grid model and Computational Lagrangian-Eulerian Advection Remap Volume of Fluid (CLEARVOF) method.

TL;DR: In this paper, the wave forces on partially submerged fixed cylinders are investigated by numerical simulation; the numerical wave tank is based on the Navier-Stokes equation and VOF method spatially discretized using finite elements.
