Fluid Analysis of Impeller Wheel Wave Energy Detector System

Abstract:

Wave energy is a sort of clean energy existing in ocean with mass of storage, and the way how to observe, detect and measure is the very first step of exploring wave energy and other purpose. Shanghai Ocean University has focused this field for long, and proposed a kind of impeller wheel wave energy detector system which is based on buoy or other small offshore equipments. To make the wave energy detector efficiency and precise, some analysis is very necessary especially the fluid analysis. With the analysis results some optimizations for structure and combination of the impeller wheel are chosen to accomplish design target. And the method of CFD simulation and theory will be a reference for relevant research.
