Modeling and Design of the Triton OWC System (Final Report)
Two versions of the Triton Oscillating Water Column type device will be modeled in WEC Sim. First, a model of a wave-tank scale device which can be tuned and validated against tank test data. Second, a model of the deployment-scale device will be constructed following the method of the tank-scale device to ensure that relevant physics are captured. In the latter case, the geometry, PTO architecture, and other design details are not yet finalized, so the model will serve as a platform for design iteration as time and budget allows. A subset of this iteration will be automated using existing WEC-Sim capabilities. A primary focus of this work will be familiarizing Triton personnel with the WEC-Sim workflow and model details so that the model of the deployment device can continue to be enhanced after project end.

PAMEC 2024 WEC-Sim Workshop
The WEC-Sim development team will host a workshop about WEC-Sim capabilities and applications during PAMEC 2024. The workshop will have two sessions: The first session is aimed for new and existing users of WEC-Sim to learn the basic purpose, use-cases, structure, and theory of WEC-Sim. In the second session, the attendees will learn about the advanced capabilities of WEC-Sim.
