BASM – WEC

Dr. Yang Huang Presents at the 43rd International Conference on Ocean, Offshore, and Arctic Engineering (OMAE 2024)

The BASM-WEC project research team is proud to announce that Dr. Yang Huang recently participated in the prestigious 43rd International Conference on Ocean, Offshore, and Arctic Engineering (OMAE 2024), held at Singapore EXPO from June… Dr. Yang Huang Presents at the 43rd International Conference on Ocean, Offshore, and Arctic Engineering (OMAE 2024)

Anaconda WEC test

To further enhance our understanding of the resonant response of the flexible tube wave energy converter (WEC) in waves, a series of wave tank tests were conducted for a 3.52m long tube at the Kelvin… Anaconda WEC test

S3 WEC modelling

To obtain a deeper understanding of the dynamic response of the flexible tube wave energy converter (WEC) in a realistic ocean environment, a coupled numerical analysis tool based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and finite… S3 WEC modelling

Anaconda WEC modelling

Anaconda WEC concept is a typical flexible tube WEC. Compared to a flexible OWC WEC, it is able to absorb wave energy within a wider range of wave frequencies. Bulge wave, induced by the pressure… Anaconda WEC modelling

Flexible OWC WEC modelling

To validate the developed FSI analysis tool, a flexible OWC WEC device, Poly-A-OWC, is chosen as the analysis object. It’s a point absorbed WEC. The pressure inside the cylinder chamber, induced by incident waves, causes… Flexible OWC WEC modelling
