This paper presents a formulation for free-surface computations capable of handling
complex phenomena, such as wave breaking, without excessive mass loss or smearing of …

Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) is used to simulate the movement of a caisson
breakwater in the surf zone. The open-source code SPHysics is used with a Riemann solver …

Modelling large-scale wave fields and their interaction with coastal and offshore structures
has become much more feasible over the last two decades with increases in computer …

The paper presents incompressible Navier-Stokes simulations of the dynamics of a floating
wave energy converter (WEC) coupled to a high-order finite element solver for cable …

In this paper we present a summary of numerical methods for solving free surface and two
fluid flow problems. We will focus the attention on level set formulations extensively used in …

This work aims to increase the modelling accuracy of two important problems for the wave
energy industry. One concerns the mooring dynamics in the presence of snap loads (shock …

Large tensile forces, known as snap loads, can occur when a slack rope becomes taut. Such
forces may damage the rope or masses connected to it. Experiments are described in which …

Smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) is used to simulate floating bodies in the surf zone.
The open-source code SPHysics is used with a Riemann solver for improved wave …

Numerical and experimental investigations of tidal current energy extraction have been
conducted in this study. A laboratory-scale water flume was simulated using commercial …

This chapter presents an overview of some computational methods for the analysis of
problems in ship hydrodynamics. Attention is focused on the description of stabilized finite …
