Dissertation Overview: Numerical modelling of the hydrodynamics and energy generation of an oscillating wave surge converter system by Guilherme Fuhrmeister Vargas, Alexandre Beluco

“…In this context, a detailed study of a wave farm composed of several OWSCs is necessary, which represents a case closer to reality, since most renewable systems include several modules of the same converter. Considering the complexity of the existing hydrodynamics in these cases, a numerical modeling methodology based on the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) methodology is applied to correctly represent the oscillation of the structure and the observed flow fields. …”
