摘要:

本文介绍了计算流体动力学(CFD)分析的波能装置称为赫尔水库波能转换器(HRWEC)。该装置包括一个浮动船体和一个襟翼连接到轴的动力输出系统(PTO),这是一体化的船体结构。它是独一无二的,因为它能够通过利用船体的俯仰运动和由于船体内的水运动而旋转的襟翼来转换波浪能。由于内部流体动力学的复杂性,基于CFD的分析被认为是最合适的。在规则波条件下,使用ANSYS-AQWA和ANSYS FLUENT对装置的动力学进行了CFD研究。通过计算得到了决定功率提取程度的水动力系数,即相对俯仰角变化量。设计了一个模拟,显示完整的系统动力学不同的配置变化的内部水的高度。观察到良好的收敛性,并确定了最佳配置。预计在可预见的将来通过实验验证模拟结果。

英文摘要:

This paper presents a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis of a wave energy device called the Hull Reservoir Wave Energy Converter (HRWEC). The device consists of a floating hull and a flap connected to the shaft of power take-off system (PTO), which is integral to the hull structure. It is unique due to its ability to convert wave energy by utilizing the pitch motion of the hull and rotating flap due to the internal water movement in the hull. Due to the complexity of the internal fluid dynamics, a CFD-based analysis was considered most appropriate. The CFD investigation of the dynamics of the device was done under regular wave conditions by using the ANSYS-AQWA and ANSYS FLUENT. Relative pitch angle variation, the hydrodynamic coefficients, which determine the degree of power extraction, were obtained from simulated results. A simulation was designed exhibiting complete system dynamics for different configurations varying on internal water height. Excellent convergence was observed,and an optimum configuration was identified. It is expected to validate the simulation results through experiments in the foreseeable future.
