Heave 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 کاملExtreme Wave Loading on Offshore Wave Energy Devices using CFD
Two commercial Navier-Stokes solvers are applied to wave-wave and wave-structure interaction problems leading to the final application of simulating a single float of the wave energy converter (WEC) Manchester Bobber in extreme waves and a fixed section of the Pelamis in regular waves. First the two software packages CFX and STAR CCM+ are validated against measured results from physical tank te...

متن کاملMooring Line Reliability Analysis of Single Point Mooring (SPM) System under Extreme Wave and Current Conditions
Single Point Mooring (SPM) is a type of offshore facility that is used for the loading and unloading of oil and gas tankers in the sea. In Iran, it is briefly called “floating buoy”. The present study discussed floating type, fixed to the seabed with mooring chain. The mooring chain of SPM, which is considered one of the important parameters of its design, will be evaluated with reg...
متن کاملExtreme wave phenomena in down - stream running modulated waves
Modulational, Benjamin-Feir, instability is studied for the down-stream evolution of surface gravity waves. An explicit solution, the soliton on finite background, of the NLS equation in physical space is used to study various phenomena in detail. It is shown that for sufficiently long modulation lengths, at a unique position where the largest waves appear, phase singularities are present in th...
