Implementation of an OpenFOAM Numerical Wave Tank for Wave Energy Experiments

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
