Journal ArticleDOI
SPH simulation of floating structures with moorings
José M. Domínguez,Alejandro J. C. Crespo,Matthew Hall,Corrado Altomare,Minghao Wu,Vasiliki Stratigaki,Peter Troch,Lorenzo Cappietti,Moncho Gómez-Gesteira +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use DualSPHysics to simulate the interaction of sea waves with floating offshore structures, such as vessels, boats, floating breakwaters and wave energy converters (WECs).
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of air compressibility effects on the performance of fixed OWC wave energy converters using CFD modelling
TL;DR: In this paper, an evaluation of the error induced by neglecting the effect of air compressibility in modelling Oscillating Water Column (OWC) wave energy converters is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimization of the geometry and the turbine induced damping for fixed detached and asymmetric OWC devices: A numerical study
TL;DR: In this article, a two-phase incompressible three-dimensional Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) model was used for an extensive parameter study on the performance of a fixed, detached Oscillating Water Column (OWC) wave energy converter.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wave Energy Assessment and Performance Estimation of State of the Art Wave Energy Converters in Italian Hotspots
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented an assessment of offshore wave energy potential at the scale of the whole Mediterranean Sea, by means of numerical modeling, toward four Italian coastal areas, namely stretches of coast of Tuscany, Liguria, Sardinia, and Sicily.
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of waves propagating with the current on the wake of a tidal stream turbine
Yuquan Zhang,Zang Wei,Zang Wei,Jinhai Zheng,Lorenzo Cappietti,Jisheng Zhang,Yuan Zheng,E. Fernandez-Rodriguez +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of wind-waves on the wake structure of a fixed-scale model TST were analyzed in terms of: (i) time-mean velocity profiles, (ii) swirl numbers, (iii) turbulence intensities and (iv) turbulent anisotropy maps.
