Radiation impedance matrix and optimum power absorption for interacting oscillators in surface waves

摘要: Abstract The two hydrodynamic coefficients, the damping coefficient and added-mass are incorporated into a single complex coefficient, radiation impedance. These coefficients become matrices for system of interacting wave-generating oscillators. A derivation an optimization power absorbed by obtained using phenomenological theory. Subsequently parameters related with hydrodynamics. Finally optimum absorption heaving point oscillators is considered. It demonstrated that velocity maximum not in all cases phase excitation force.
