Abstract
A numerical wave tank (NWT) can be a useful tool
for wave energy experiments. This paper outlines the implementation
of a NWT using the open-source computational fluid
dynamics (CFD) software, OpenFOAM. In particular, the paper
focusses on an NWT designed for experiments involving rigidbody
type wave energy converters (WECs), using OpenFOAM
version 2.3.0.
