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

“…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. In order to achieve the objectives, the OpenFOAM v.4.1 computational code and the OlaFlow extension are used, together with the Wall Adapting Local Eddy Viscosity (WALE) LES model, which allows a representation of the system very close to real application cases. …”
