Simulated wave tank for capturing wave energy includes a paddle, far left, for creating waves and a small device that works like a inner tube sliding up and down a cylinder. Wave energy moves the tube, which contains copper coils, up and down the cylinder, which contains magnets, converting wave energy to electricity. This simulation was done on a GPU-based computing cluster at RENCI at the University of North Carolinausing a 3D smooth hydrodynamic particle model.
