A study of ocean wave energy capture system

In the present study, a fully nonlinear 2-D finite difference scheme has been developed based on inviscid and incompressible flow in a rectangular tank. The rectangular tank is coupled to a linear elastic-supported structure made up by reinforced concrete. Wave breaking and run-up are not considered in the present numerical model due to the free surface is assumed as a single-value function. The main purpose of this study is to analyze interactions between sloshing forces generated by system vibrations and structure motions. The accuracy of present study is made by comparing to other reported numerical results and the consequence shows well agreement. The present study can be applied for designing various combinations of coupled structure systems for different necessity. The analyses of practical examples are also presented in this study. The present numerical model can provide a quick and accurate way on determining the natural frequencies of connecting fluid-structure system and this is hard to identify through experiment.
