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 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

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
