Description:
This model replicates the test case described in the conference paper by James et al., “Verifying Marine-Hydro-Kinetic Energy Generation Simulations Using SNL-EFDC”. The objective is to use EFDC+ Explorer (EE) and EFDC+ to simulate Marine Hydrokinetic (MHK) device energy removal and its effect on the surrounding flow field. The model was originally provided by Sandia National Laboratories (SNL), who calibrated turbulence and MHK device parameters against wake data from a flume experiment reported by Myers and Bahaj. This produced verified simulations of MHK-device energy removal that serve as a reliable benchmark for demonstrating EFDC+‘s MHK modeling capabilities.
