Diffraction and Radiation of Water Waves by a Heaving Absorber in Front of a Bottom-Mounted, V-shaped Breakwater of Infinite Length

In the present study, problems of diffraction and radiation water waves by a cylindrical heaving wave energy converter (WEC) placed in front reflecting V-shaped vertical breakwater are formulated. The idea conceived is based on possible exploitation amplified scattered reflected potentials originating from presence breakwater, towards increasing WEC’s power absorption due to reflections. An analytical solution method images developed context linear theory, taking into account hydrodynamic interaction phenomena between wall. Numerical results presented discussed concerning forces absorber its efficiency for various examined parameters, namely, breakwaters’ forming angle, distance walls heading angle. show that amount harvested WEC compared absorbed same open sea.
