نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a theoretical model to investigate the hydrodynamics of floating flexible circular wave energy converter (WEC). Decomposition in rigid and bending elastic modes plate allows us power extraction efficiency monochromatic incident waves. show that elasticity increases number eigenfrequencies, which has positive beneficial effect on output. also how radius take-off (PTO) distribution affect response system consequent absorbed energy. This work highlights need extend studies experimental investigations devices, currently seen as future WEC technology.

A Flexible Seafloor Carpet for High-performance Wave Energy Extraction
Similar to the mechanism by which a visco-elastic mud damps the energy of overpassing surface waves, if the near-shore seafloor is carpeted by an elastic thin material attached to generators (i.e. dampers) a high fraction of surface wave energy can be absorbed. Here we present analytical modeling of the flexible carpet wave energy converter and show that a high efficiency is achievable. Express...
متن کاملWater-wave scattering and energy dissipation by a floating porous elastic plate in three dimensions
An eigenfunction-matching method is developed for the problem of linear water-wave scattering by a circular floating porous elastic plate, and a coupled boundary-element and finiteelement method is developed for the problem in which the plate is of arbitrary shape. The methods are shown to produce the same solutions for a circular plate, and their convergence properties are established. The imp...
متن کاملA review of wave-energy extraction
Comparing ocean-wave energy with its origin, wind energy, the former is more persistent and spatially concentrated. In this paper wave spectrum parameters related to transport, distribution and variability of wave energy in the sea are educed. Many different types of wave-energy converters, of various categories, have been proposed. It is useful to think of primary conversion of wave energy by ...
متن کاملHeave Plate Dynamics for a Point Absorbing Wave Energy Converter
Wave energy converters (WECs) often include a submerged heave reaction plate located at a depth where the surrounding water is minimally disturbed by the passing surface waves. Heave plates provide a relatively stationary and artificially massive body to which WECs transfer the reactionary forces generated as their power-takeoffs (PTOs) resist the motion induced by the incoming waves. To date l...
متن کاملanalytical investigation of interaction between flexible circular plate with transversely isotropic half-space
a transversely isotropic half-space with axis of material symmetry perpendicular to the free surface supports a flexible circular plate. the contact area of the plate and the half-space is considered to be both frictionless and unbonded (tensionless). the foundation is affected by a vertical static axisymmetric load. detailed analysis of the interaction of these two systems is the target of thi...
