Abstract
The world’s environmental pollution is more and more serious, and the human society for the energy demand is more and more large, so o the research of clean new energy is very necessary. In this paper, flow-3D software is used to simulate and study the motion state, velocity, kinetic energy, wave force and amplitude of cone and cylinder floats under different masses with the same wave height, so as to obtain the influence of mass on wave absorption efficiency and output power of these two kinds of floats. The results show that :(1) when the wave height is 0.25m, the wave energy absorption efficiency of the cylindrical and conical float increases first and then decreases with the increase of mass. The absorption efficiency of the 6kg cone float is the best, which is 27.77%. (2) With the increase of mass, the output work of the conical float firstly increases and then decreases, and reaches its maximum value at 6kg, which is 1.27w.
Highlights
Wave energy is one of the most abundant energy resources in the ocean and has been studied for more than 30 years [1]
The extensive use of wave energy can reduce the environmental pollution caused by the use of traditional energy in China
There are more than 4,000 wave power generation devices in the world[4]
Summary
There are a lot of researches on the influence of the single variable of float shape on the oscillating float type power generation system, and there are few reports on the relationship between the parameters of float shape and mass. Numerical simulation method is used to study the influence of the shape and mass parameters of the wave-generated oscillating float on the wave energy absorption efficiency and output power, and to find the optimal collocation of the float shape and mass
