JuliaOceanWaves
SAND2023-05107O JuliaOceanWaves is a collection of packages and functions for modeling wave energy converters. The open-source software is designed to be used by the wave energy community to model new concepts, perform design optimization, and more. Capabilities include: • A representation of ocean wave spectra and input/output (e.g. read from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration buoys) and post-processing functionalities; • A solver for the linear potential flow radiation and diffraction equations for wave forcing on floating structures. • Solving the floating body linear dynamics in the frequency domain. Future additions to the software will include solving non-linear floating body dynamics in the time-domain through time-marching Ordinary Differential Equation solvers and the pseudo-spectral optimization method. Sandia National Laboratories is a multimission laboratory managed and operated by National Technology & Engineering Solutions of Sandia, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Honeywell International Inc., for the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration under contract DE-NA0003525.
