Optimization of Spacing for Oscillating Wave Surge Converter Arrays Using Genetic Algorithm
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The oscillating wave surge converter (OWSC) is a type of ocean wave power device typically consisting of a flap, or arm, hinged at the bottom to allow forward and backward movement by surging waves, and is efficient in ...
Wake Field Interaction in 3D Tidal Turbine Arrays: Numerical Analysis for the Pentland Firth
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study presents a methodology for applying the three-dimensional actuator disk-RANS technique in modeling tidal energy converters within a regional-scale simulation. Of particular interest are the robustness of the ...
Hydrodynamic Characteristics of a Free-Surface Semicircular Breakwater Exposed to Irregular Waves
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A free-surface semicircular breakwater (SCB) has been developed for protecting coastal and marine infrastructures against ocean waves. The hydrodynamic characteristics of the breakwater are investigated in irregular seas ...
