Abstract: Modelling the impact of wakes of wave energy converter farms requires a coupling between numerical modelling tools focusing either on the near field wave-structure interaction processes or on the far field wake effects. We present a coupling methodology and a suite of tools to achieve a combined simulation of both effects.
