This submission contains the files for reproducing the waves only and sphere test article simulations for the experimental setup (three different wave conditions) associated with the Teamer Request for Technical Support 9 (RFTS 9) fluid dynamics simulations to support the Ocean Energy Systems Energy Technology Collaboration Program (OES) Task 10 Wave Energy Converters Modeling Verification and Validation effort.

The README.pdf file contains details on the test domain, test cases, guidance for installing the required software, representative results, and additional details on the contents of the OES10_RFTS9_Archive.gz beyond those noted below. All this information and the contents of the OES10_RFTS9_Archive.gz file is also available via GitHub (see resource link below) under the 'distortingMesh/paddleWaveMaker' directory.

The following directories are available in the OES10_RFTS9_Archive.gz file:

• The 'data' directory contains the experimental validation data, the paddle input signal data, and representative output data from the OpenFOAM simulations.
• The 'images' directory contains images of representative results for the three test cases and were generated using the python .py files located in the main directory.
• The 'openFoamCaseFiles' directory contains cleaned OpenFOAM case files for the three test conditions.

Refer to additional README files contained within the OES10_RFTS9_Archive.gz file for additional details.

This project is part of the TEAMER RFTS 9 (request for technical support) program: Numerical Modeling of WECs to support OES task 10.
