In this paper, we carried out a numerical investigation of the hydrodynamic performance of a floating pendulum wave energy converter (WEC). This movable-body-type device consists of three main parts: floater, pendulum and damping plate. The performance of the WEC device was evaluated under regular and irregular wave conditions using frequency-domain floating body dynamics. In this study, the higher-order boundary element method (HOBEM) based on potential flow model was applied to obtain the hydrodynamic coefficients and wave exciting forces acting on floating bodies. The hinged motion of the pendulum was simulated by applying the penalty method. In order to avoid an unrealistic resonant response, numerical body damping was adopted. The coupled dynamics of floater and pendulum were analyzed as a hinged multi-body model. First, the wave force and motion characteristics of the device in regular waves were studied. Then, the performance of the WEC device was evaluated under irregular wave conditions. The effects of the main shape parameters on power absorption and floater motion were numerically investigated.

Some of the OnePetro partner societies have developed subject- specific wikis that may help.


 


PetroWiki was initially created from the seven volume  Petroleum Engineering Handbook (PEH) published by the  Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE).








The SEG Wiki is a useful collection of information for working geophysicists, educators, and students in the field of geophysics. The initial content has been derived from : Robert E. Sheriff's Encyclopedic Dictionary of Applied Geophysics, fourth edition.
