Abstract

The Boundary Element Method (BEM) based on the linear potential flow theory has shown to produce accurate results at low computational costs in numerical modelling of the hydrodynamics of Wave Energy Converters (WECs). WAMIT, Nemoh and Capytaine are some of the most popular frequency domain BEM solvers used in the response analysis of various WECs. Hydrodynamic Analysis of Marine Structures (HAMS), another open-source BEM solver gaining traction, has been applied to the analysis of single WECs considering rigid body motions providing highly accurate solutions at lower computational costs as compared to other solvers. This research extends its current capabilities to model structures with constraints by applying the generalized modes approach. Results presented include of a cross-model validation with commercial solver WAMIT, of the hydrodynamic coefficients and exciting forces considering flap converter. Furthermore, a comparison is shown with popular open-source solver Capytaine for the same case, since it has parallelization.
