Numerical modelling of wave energy converters : state-of-the-art techniques for single devices and arrays Edited by Matt Folley - Amsterdam : Academic Press is an imprint of Elsevier, c2016. - ix, 296 p. : ill. ; 24 cm.
Includes index.
Numerical Modelling of Wave Energy Converters: State-of-the Art Techniques for Single WEC and Converter Arrays presents all the information and techniques required for the numerical modelling of a wave energy converter together with a comparative review of the different available techniques. The authors provide clear details on the subject and guidance on its use for WEC design, covering topics such as boundary element methods, frequency domain models, spectral domain models, time domain models, non linear potential flow models, CFD models, semi analytical models, phase resolving wave propagation models, phase averaging wave propagation models, parametric design and control optimization, mean annual energy yield, hydrodynamic loads assessment, and environmental impact assessment.
