Analytical and computational modelling for wave energy systems: the example of oscillating wave surge converters

摘要: The development of new wave energy converters has shed light on a number unanswered questions in fluid mechanics, but also identified issues importance for their future deployment. main concerns relevant to the practical use are sustainability, survivability, and maintainability. Of course, it is necessary maximize capture per unit area structure as well minimize cost. In this review, we consider some related topics maintenance access, with respect sea conditions, generic an emphasis oscillating surge converter. New analytical models that have been developed topic particular discussion. It shown how existing numerical pushed limits provide answers open relating operation characteristics converters.
