There has been a significant interest in develo** Flexible Wave Energy Converters
(FlexWECs) that utilise structural deformations to generate electricity and mitigate …

Wave impact on offshore and coastal structures, such as oil and gas rigs, offshore wind
turbine platforms, breakwaters, flood protection systems and wave energy converters …

This paper develops a Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) model to simulate wave
interaction with elastic thin structures. This is achieved by coupling the δ-SPH and the Total …

Wave farms consist of arrays of wave energy converters. However, ocean waves perturbed
by one device will interact with its neighbouring devices, which can lead to more or less …

The study of fluid–structure interactions in elastic structures is highly important in hydraulic
structural engineering. This paper adopts the smooth particle hydrodynamics (SPH) …

The impacts of four distinctive types of violent breaking waves on a flexible wall at a large
scale are investigated using a fully-coupled computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and …

This paper introduces a fluid–structure interaction (FSI) model for simulation of the coupled
dynamics between two-phase flows and elastic slender structures. This model is extended …

Given the advantages of flexible wave energy converters (FlexWECs), such as deformation-
led energy harnessing and structural loading compliance, there has been a significant …

Flexible wave energy converters (FlexWECs) have been gaining increasing research and
industrial interest as their deformable nature can potentially remedy the structural issues that …
