Design of the Shape of Blade of the Semi-Submersible Ocean Current Power Generation Device Based on Fluent

Article Preview

Abstract:

The semi-submersible ocean current power generation device is a new power generation device which can absorb the energy of marine currents. The shape of blade determines the absorbing efficiency which is one of the core technologies. To get force status of the different shape of the blade under the currents by using Fluent software simulate these blades. Then analyze the impacts of the blade shape on the power generation efficiency, the simulation results provide guidance for the design of the actual blades.
