Pejman Sanaei
College of Arts & Sciences MathPejman Sanaei, Ph.D., assistant professor of mathematics, co-authored an article with Hamed Behzad, a Ph.D. student in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at New Jersey Institute of Technology, titled “,” published on November 6, 2019, about how finite arrays of bottom-hinged flap-type wave energy converters are modeled using a numerical approach. The converters are similar to the ones from Aquamarine Power, which is called Oyster, using ANSYS-AQWA as software for numerical simulation. The goal of this study is to optimize the annual energy absorption of a farm depending on the lateral and vertical spacing between converters based on a wave-spectrum case study.
