This paper presents a numerical wave tank based on the overset mesh approach. Overset
mesh is favourable to the moving mesh method owing to its ability to represent complex …

Point absorber wave energy converters (PA-WECs) are considered an independent
renewable energy resource in oceanographic research to study wave climate data, ocean …

To estimate the response of wave energy converters to different sea environments
accurately is an ongoing challenge for researchers and industry, considering that there has …

We introduce a fluid–structure interaction (FSI) framework for the resolution of two-phase
fluid flow problems and isothermal non-linear elastic bodies. The discretisation of both the …

The estimation of wave breaking and run-up on sloped beaches is a relevant issue in
different coastal engineering applications. The present study stresses on the capabilities of a …

A momentum source function is constructed for wave generation based on linear wave
theory. Based on Navier-Stokes equation and volume of fluid (VOF) method, a three …

The effects of asymmetric boundary conditions on the flow past rectangular cylinders are
relevant for many engineering applications. Pertinently, the influence of wall proximity on the …

Rectangular cylinders are insensitive to the Reynolds number (Re) due to the geometrically
restricted flow separation. The introduction of asymmetry, eg, inclination, asymmetric cross …

The installation of plunger-type wave makers in experimental tanks will generally include a
gap between the back of the wedge and the wall of the tank. In this study, we analyze the …

In order to design and evaluate the behaviour of a numerically optimised wave energy
converter (WEC), a recommended procedure is to initially study small scale models in …
