Study on the Motion Response of Buoy in Sea Condition

Article Preview

Abstract:

In the research of buoy wave power devices, earlier studies have indicated that the vertical cylindrical can absorb the most power from wave by comparing the loading conditions of several buoys (e.g.cuboid, vertical cylindrical, horizontal cylindrical, sphere, and so on) using the Froude-Krylov theory. However, it is not argued the motion response of buoys with the same basal area and the different basal shapes. In this paper, buoys with the same basal area and the different basal shapes are investigated by the mean of simulation. There are two modes for the floating system, one is with mooring line and the other is without. In both cases, the motions in horizontal (x axis) and vertical (z axis) direction will be studied.
