438 Characteristics of Floating Vessel for Wave Energy Converter with Air Turbine
Details
The method for analyzing a floating type of wave energy conversion device moored on the water surface is described under the condition that the linear water wave theory is applicable. The method is proposed in order to calculate the device characteristics of an air chamber. It derives the particular solution that satisfies the boundary condition on the free surface in the air chamber and on the bottom of the floating device. It is confirmed that the solution gives good agreement with experimental data.
