Similar to solar panels and wind turbines, wave energy converters harness energy from Mother Nature’s resources – specifically ocean waves – and turn them into electricity. While this process has not yet been perfected, it has the potential to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels.
While several challenges, such as operating complex devices in harsh ocean conditions, must be overcome before wave energy becomes a realistic option for mainstream power, one step toward a solution was recently studied and validated by an international team of engineering researchers. The team’s findings related to their wave energy simulation tool was published in the Journal of Computational Physics, with the outcomes validated using the Comet supercomputer at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) and Bridges at the Pittsburgh computer science degree jobs.
Focused on modeling complex fluid-structure interaction problems, the research team’s study encompassed simulations such as heavy rigid structures interacting with high winds, breaking waves, and other complex marine characteristics.
