Abstract
Duck wave energy converter has the advantages of high conversion efficiency, simple construction, low cost relative to other wave power device. In the paper, the numerical simulation of the response of the converter was calculated by the AQWA software which based on the three dimensional potential flow theories. The results show that the pitch angle appear the peak when the incident wave frequency is 1rad/s and the maximum of the pitch angle come out as the linear wave normally incident the duck body, which means duck wave energy converter can absorb more wave energy in this angular frequency. The above research can provide reference for the design of the duck wave energy converter.
