    Hydrodynamic Modelling of An Oscillating Wave Surge Converter Including Power Take-Off

    To estimate the response of wave energy converters to different sea environments accurately is an ongoing challenge for researchers and industry, considering that there has to be a balance between guaranteeing their integrity whilst extracting the wave energy efficiently. For oscillating wave surge converters, the incident wave field is changed due to the pitching motion of the flap structure. A key component influencing this motion response is the Power Take-Off system used. Based on OpenFOAM, this paper includes the Power Take-off to establish a realistic model to simulate the operation of a three-dimensional oscillating wave surge converter by solving Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes equations. It examines the relationship between incident waves and the perturbed fluid field near the flap, which is of great importance when performing in arrays as neighbouring devices may influence each other. Furthermore, it investigates the influence of different control strategy systems (active and passive) in the energy extracted from regular waves related to the performance of the device. This system is estimated for each wave frequency considered and the results show the efficiency of the energy extracted from the waves is related to high amplitude pitching motions of the device in short periods of time

    Simulation of the wave evolution and power capture of an oscillating wave surge converter

    Get PDF
    For oscillating wave surge converters (OWSC) the incident wave field is changed due to the movement of the flap structure. A key component influencing this motion response is the Power Take-Off (PTO) system used. This paper examines the relationship between incident waves and the perturbed fluid field near the flap using the Computational Fluid Dynamics method by using Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations. Further, it investigates the influence of a PTO system in the energy extracted from regular waves. Whilst this wave evolution is not significant in the effective power captured by a unit device, it is of great importance when performing in arrays as neighbouring devices may influence each other

    Com desenvolvimento da classificação dos solos até o quarto nível categórico do Sistema Brasileiro de Classificação de Solos - SiBCS, busca-se a elaboração e padronização de propostas para a classificação dos solos no quinto e sexto níveis categóricos (família e série). Nesse sentido, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo verificar a viabilidade das frações húmicas para a classificação de horizontes diagnósticos no quinto ou sexto níveis categóricos (família e série) do SiBCS. Para o desenvolvimento da proposta, foram utilizados 169 horizontes diagnósticos distribuídos entre O hístico, H hístico, A chernozêmico, A húmico e B espódico. Esses horizontes foram analisados quanto à composição química e física. Também foram quantificados os teores de C orgânico nas frações: ácidos fúlvicos (C-FAF), ácidos húmicos (C-FAH) e humina (C-HUM), extrato alcalino (C-EA). Foram calculadas as relações C-FAH/C-FAF, C-EA/C-HUM (C-EA = C-FAF + C-FAH) e a %FAF, %FAH e %HUM. As propostas de classes estabelecidas para cada horizonte diagnóstico no quinto ou sexto níveis categóricos estão relacionadas ao C-FAH e CHUM e às relações C-FAH/C-FAF e C-EA/C-HUM, identificadas a partir de correlações significativas com os atributos químicos e físicos. Quanto aos horizontes O e H hístico, apresentam-se classes com base na relação C-FAH/C-FAF. Nos horizontes A chernozêmico e A húmico há duas classes para cada um deles, tendo como base C-HUM e a relação C-FAH/C-FAF, para o primeiro, e C-FAH e C-HUM, para o segundo. Para os horizontes B espódico, apresentam-se três classes, a partir do C-FAH e das relações C-FAH/C-FAF e C-EA/C-HUM

    The UCL OpenFOAM Course was initiated by the Department of Mechanical Engineering, totally free and registered under UCL doctoral school. It aims to popularise OpenFOAM among research students and help beginners to get through the initial painful stage dealing with the unfamiliar operation environment, also an excellent chance to exchange simulation skills and generate collaborations. In 2019, the course was held during 26-28 June, with our lecturers and 55 students attended. It was fantastic to see so many conversations getting started, and to feel that our UK/London community is getting stronger. We received very positive feedback, and more importantly, strong interests from worldwide users who wanted but could not join us in London. Thereby, this document is published online to demonstrate what we have taught. We hope this will be helpful for a wider audience. In Chapter 1-4, we present step-by-step guideline for installing/using/understanding OpenFOAM; subsequently, our Appendixes provides advanced tutorials for various purposes
