A discontinuous finite element method for the hydroelastic analysis of submerged structures
Zachary J. Wegert, Oriol Colomés, Michael H. Meylan +2
This paper develops a finite element method for wave-structure interaction problems arising in the hydroelastic modelling of submerged elastic plates. The approach is formulated fo…
Wave energy conversion by floating and submerged piezoelectric bimorph plates
Zachary J. Wegert, Ben Wilks, Ngamta Thamwattana +3
Gaining insight into the interaction between flexible piezoelectric structures and ocean waves can inform the development of compact, high-efficiency wave-energy converters that ha…
Water wave scattering by a surface-mounted rectangular anisotropic elastic plate
Ben Wilks, Michael H. Meylan, Zachary J. Wegert +2
This paper considers the problem of water wave scattering by a rectangular anisotropic elastic plate mounted on the ocean surface, with either free, clamped or simply-supported edg…
Time-domain pressure and surface wave propagation over generic topography due to sea floor motion
Ravindra Pethiyagoda, Santu Das, Michael H. Meylan
The surface gravity wave evolution, imitating tsunamis triggered by the ocean floor's arbitrary temporal motion over a generic seafloor topography, is investigated using the linear…
A generalized inner product-based wave scattering from an underwater source in a compressible ocean
R. Pethiyagoda, S. Das, B. Wilks +1
Motivated by applications to underwater explosions and volcanic eruptions, this paper considers the evolution of an initial pressure disturbance in the ocean, including effects due…
Simultaneous layout and device parameter optimisation of a wave energy park in an irregular sea
Ben Wilks, Michael H. Meylan, Fabien Montiel +4
The design of optimal wave energy parks, namely, arrays of devices known as wave energy converters (WECs) that extract energy from water waves, is an important consideration for th…
Wave scattering at a rectangular junction of four waveguides
Afnan A. Aldosri, Michael H. Meylan, Ben Wilks
We consider the scattering of linear waves in two dimensions by a rectangular region at the junction of four waveguides. A solution to the frequency domain problem is obtained by e…
Generalised eigenfunction expansion and singularity expansion methods for two-dimensional acoustic time-domain wave scattering problems
Ben Wilks, Michael H. Meylan, Fabien Montiel +1
Time-domain wave scattering in an unbounded two-dimensional acoustic medium by sound-hard scatterers is considered. Two canonical geometries, namely a split-ring resonator (SRR) an…
Generalised eigenfunction expansion and singularity expansion methods for canonical time-domain wave scattering problems
Ben Wilks, Michael H. Meylan, Fabien Montiel +1
The generalised eigenfunction expansion method (GEM) and the singularity expansion method (SEM) are applied to solve the canonical problem of wave scattering on an infinite stretch…
