摘要: Abstract The work presented here focuses on evaluating the interaction between ocean waves and a device designed to harness their energy. device, called Blow-Jet, consists of narrowing structure that concentrates transforms energy from potential kinetic kinetic, turning oscillatory flow into an intermittent jet can be easily guided impulse turbine. new is feed low demands such as secondary fuel generators (e.g. hydrogen production). Several experimental tests were carried out investigate hydraulic behavior Blow-Jet. Results indicate even for energetic wave trains, able capture amplify water velocity, which indeed conversion capacity. In order evaluate field inside high resolution 3D numerical model OpenFOAM utilized. Good agreement was found pressures exerted walls with computed tool. combination results confirmed optimal geometry, location position while need some geometric changes detected after analysis results. Blow-Jet has shown itself WEC acceptable efficiency.
