In partnership with Deltares, Sandia modifications include a CEC Module that simulates energy conversion (momentum withdrawal) by marine hydrokinetic (MHK) turbine or turbine-like devices including commensurate changes in turbulent kinetic energy and turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rate.

The SNL-Delft3D-CEC code incorporates a state-of-the-art current energy conversion (CEC) module within the structured grid version of the open-source Delft3D-FLOW software developed by Deltares. SNL-Delft3D-CEC can also be coupled to SNL-SWAN to evaluate the effects of wave energy converters (WEC) on the marine environment. The application of the tool will help address regulatory concerns about site-specific environmental responses to user-defined CEC array designs, thereby accelerating environmentally responsible deployment for power generation. The intent of the software is to facilitate detailed analyses needed to guide the layout design of CEC arrays in order to maximize array power production and minimize environmental effects. The SNL-Delft3D-FM-CEC code incorporates a state-of-the-art current energy conversion (CEC) module within the open-source Delft3D-FLOWFM software developed by Deltares. More advanced requirements, such as dynamic position systems and energy dissipation, can be accomplished through a user-defined function.
Simulations may be static or dynamic in frequency and/or time domain. Hydrodynamic analysis results, such as motions and pressures, can be transferred to Ansys structural mechanics products, Ansys ASAS or generically defined FE models for subsequent structural analysis.Īnsys Aqwa Suite extends Ansys Aqwa Diffraction to include analysis capabilities for global performance of moored and/or connected systems subject to random sea states. Model creation can be performed through Ansys DesignModeler software or via other Ansys structural mechanics tools using a provided Ansys APDL macro. These include SPARs, FPSOs, Semi-submersibles, Tension leg platforms, Ships, Renewable energy devices, and Breakwaters.Īqwa has been used extensively in the oil & gas, renewable and general engineering sectors to model installation and use of equipment in open water as well as in harbors or sheltered locations.Īnsys Aqwa Diffraction is a boundary element method (BEM) solver that provides an integrated facility for developing primary hydrodynamic parameters required to undertake complex motions and response analysis.
Ansys Aqwa software addresses the vast majority of analysis requirements associated with hydrodynamic assessment of all types of offshore and marine structures.
