Efficient Nonlinear Hydrodynamic Models for Wave Energy Converter Design—A Scoping Study

This review focuses on the most suitable form of hydrodynamic modeling for the next generation wave energy converter (WEC) design tools. To design and optimize a WEC, it is estimated that several million hours of operation must be simulated, perhaps one million hours of WEC simulation per year of th...
