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…
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…
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…
Distinguished BASM-WEC research group member, Dr. Guillermo Idarraga, made a prominent mark at the 42nd International Conference on Ocean, Offshore and Arctic Engineering (OMAE 2023), hosted in the vibrant city of Melbourne, Australia. The conference…
BASM-WEC research group member, Dr. Yang Huang, attended the 15th European Wave and Tidal Energy Conference (EWTEC 2023). Held from September 3rd to 7th, 2023, in the picturesque city of Bilbao, Spain, this international event…
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…
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…
