One of main problems of wave energy development is high cost of devices development. Thus the time required to simulate these devices with Computational Fluid Dynamics difficulty the early stages of design process. In this paper the used of simplificated numerical models are used to reduce this time in presented.
The aim of this paper, is the comparison and validation of floating absorber of wave energy, between open source software simulations, based in potential theory and tests in a wave tank.
Therefore, in the presented cases mathematical models in frequency domain have been computed through Nemoh to obtain the hydrodynamic coefficients, (added mass and damping matrix) and these coefficients are included in BEMIO and WEC-Sim, which execute numerical model in time domain, to tests simulation.
