- This paper describes the first practical method which can speed-up (by the order of 1000 over direct methods) the accurate modelling of wave interactions in arrays of fixed and floating structures. For example, this allows the hydrodynamic modelling of very large wave arrays, which was previously computationally prohibitive. The method has been implemented in the open-source software “mwave” (https://github.com/cmcnatt/mwave). Aalborg University, Denmark incorporated this code into the software tools developed by the EU FP7 project DTOcean. Also, the device developer CorPower Ocean AB used mwave to model an array of CorPower devices [CorPower Ocean AB contact available].
