Comparison and Validation of Hydrodynamic Theories for Wave Energy Converter Modelling

Creator:

Leary, Matthew M.

Abstract:

A wide variety of hydrodynamic theories are utilized to approximate a Wave Energy Converter’s (WEC) equation of motion. Numerous theories have been refined in order to improve numerical approximations of WEC dynamics. When incorporating refined hydrodynamic theories into numerical models, there are distinct impacts on WEC rigid body motions, cable...
