- Numerical Wave Tanks (NWT) are increasingly used to predict the performance of devices such as marine craft and Wave Energy Converters (WEC) as a cost-effective alternative to experimental tests. This study presents and validates an Open-source Computational Fluid Dynamics NWT approach for two cases based on a semi-immersed horizontal cylinder. It provided a baseline study to support our NWT work on two well-known commercial WECs. It presents valuable validation cases for WEC developers to test NWT reliability/functionality before analysing structures of differing geometry, improving confidence in NWT results in both small (linear) and large (non-linear) wave environments.
