Simulating breaking waves using smoothed particle hydrodynamics
… motion in the surf zone (such as under breaking waves) is difficult, because model domains must be long and narrow, and very high resolutions are required to obtain sufficiently detailed simulations. Existing modelling methods have deficiencies: one class of methods are restricted to simulating …

Numerical simulation of green water and resulting loads
… water is one of the strongly nonlinear ship-wave interaction problems and it is very difficult to solve mathematically. The physical phenomena of the green water occurrence are very complicated. The past investigations can only describe the phenomena to some extent, cannot give a reasonable …

Linear and nonlinear parametric hydrodynamic models for wave energy converters identified from recorded data
Ocean waves represent an important resource of renewable energy, which can provide a significant support to the development of more sustainable energy solutions and to the reduction ofCO2 emissions. The amount of extracted energy from the ocean waves can be increased by optimizing the geometry and …

Analytical and Numerical Studies of the Generation and Propagation of Nonlinear Water Waves by a Wavemaker
… to predict the nonlinear effects of extreme wave events is paramount for the preparation of modern experimental tests in large wave basins. Currently, linear theory is routinely used, hence nonlinear wave-wave interactions between propagating waves are often ignored. In addition, the …

Design, validation and application of wave-to-wire models for heaving point absorber wave energy converters
Ocean waves represent an untapped source of renewable energy which can significantly contribute to the energy transition towards a sustainable energy mix. Despite the significant potential of this energy source and the multiple solutions suggested for the extraction of energy from ocean waves, some …
