Floating Coastal Wave Power Generator: Analysis by Computational Fluid Dynamics

  • Published:
Russian Engineering Research Aims and scope

Abstract

Computational fluid dynamics may be used to simulate a floating coastal wave power generator. The computational fluid dynamic module is described, and its use in optimizing the generator design is illustrated. The stages of modeling are outlined, as well as the design stages, the necessary initial and boundary conditions, and the goals and results of the calculations.
