Session C.2: Waves Structures Interaction

How long was the domain in OpenFOAM?

Did you use stream function theory to calculate regular waves?

How long was the irregular wave time series, and what did that take in computational time?

The domain was 275m long: a relaxation zone of 100m is placed near the paddle, plus a 100m flume, and a 75m slope where the OWC is placed, simulating the real conditions.

Regular waves were calculated using the program FOURIER by John D. Fenton (http://johndfenton.com/Steady-waves/Instructions.pdf)

The irregular time series where about 1500s long. Each test took about 4 days computer time running in parallel.

Was the use of focussed waves considered instead of full random simulations?
