Numerical Performance of a Buoy-Type Wave Energy Converter with Regular Short Waves

The numerical performance of a buoy-type wave energy converter (WEC) under regular wave conditions is described in this paper. The open-source computational fluid dynamics software OpenFOAM<sup>®</sup> was used to couple a grid for the solid body motion of the WEC, with the grid designed...
