TEAMER: Numerical Analysis of a Novel Nearshore at-surface WEC

Metadata Updated: May 22, 2025

This dataset comprises of raw numerical simulation data conducted on a novel nearshore at-surface wave energy converter (WEC). The testing aimed and was intended to provide a calibration then optimization regime through numerical analysis.

This project is part of the TEAMER RFTS 10 (request for technical support) program.

This data builds upon the research and publication carried out in RFTS 4 regarding a unique half submerged, biconcave buoy that extracts surge and heave motions, but with further modifications that allow for a low number of moving parts, a passive severe force protection system and a more manufacturable design. To produce this raw data, Laminar Scientific Inc. worked with AMOG Consulting to carry out numerical analysis to analyze the performance of the concave buoy, novel nearshore at-surface WEC, analyze sensitivities to varied damping coefficients and stiffness, along with testing the different configurations of the severe force protection system.

This subset of data provides the raw data and scripts used through multiple phases of the project as specified through the scope of work stated in the report (TEAMER-Laminar_AMOG Test Plan Report). The Test Plan Report will be attached once available.

The folders provided are as follows: - Calibrated_Model_Phase - Sensitivity_Model_Phase - Final_Model_Normal - Final_Model_Capitulated - Final_Model_Extended_Scope

In the folders, there consists of raw data in .csv files with names specified as nm2023.j517_###_Model.001.#.##.Time_Histories_FM#.csv (see included README File for more information).These files are named according to the model phase, WEC orientation, wave height and wave period specific to its respective model phase wave matrix and comparing file.

In each csv., data that was deemed necessary for the conduct of the project are labeled with units in SI. Accompanying each iteration folder, there provides a Julia Script that was used to create the plots used in the final report.
