Matrix structure and convergence behaviour of the matched eigenfunction method for computing heave wave forces on generalized concentric bodies
Yinghui Bimali, Rebecca McCabe, Collin Treacy +3
Structural survival of offshore structures is crucial for the growing marine economy. Calculating the added mass, radiation damping, and excitation coefficients to quantify wave lo…
Wave energy converters as offshore wind farm guardians: a pathway to resilient ocean systems
Olivia Vitale, Maha Haji
Maximizing the durability and reliability of offshore wind farms is essential for the clean energy transition. In this work, we demonstrate how wave energy converter (WEC) farms ca…
Fully Differentiable Boundary Element Solver for Hydrodynamic Sensitivity Analysis of Wave-Structure Interactions
Kapil Khanal, Carlos A. Michelén Ströfer, Matthieu Ancellin +1
Accurately predicting wave-structure interactions is critical for the effective design and analysis of marine structures. This is typically achieved using solvers that employ the b…
Multi-Objective Multidisciplinary Optimization of Wave Energy Converter Array Layout and Controls
Kapil Khanal, Nate DeGoede, Olivia Vitale +1
This study utilizes multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) to design an array of heaving wave energy converters (WECs) for grid-scale energy production with decision variables…
