Computation of the Diffraction Transfer Matrix and the Radiation Characteristics in the Open-Source BEM Code NEMOH

Résumé

Until now, widely available boundary element method (BEM) codes did not allow the calculation of two non-conventional hydrodynamic operators, which characterize the way a body diffracts and radiates waves, known as Diffraction Transfer Matrix and Radiation Characteristics respectively. When embedded into the finite-depth interaction theory developed by [1], they drastically speed up the computation of the added mass, damping and excitation force coefficients of a group (“farm”) of floating bodies. This paper presents the implementation of their computation in the open source BEM solver NEMOH using the methodology proposed by [2]. Results for two different geometries, a cylinder and a square box, are presented and compared to an alternative computational approach developed by [3]. A very good agreement between them is found. In addition, the hydrodynamic operators of the cylinder are compared to a semi-analytical solution available in the literature showing a good match. Results obtained using the finite-depth interaction theory are shown for a generic multi-body wave energy converter (WEC) demonstrating how the capabilities added to the BEM software NEMOH can facilitate the numerical modeling of the hydrodynamic interactions in large arrays of bodies.
