Article Preview

Abstract:

Used a new type horizontal wave flow turbine ocean energy device as a prototype for the tank experiment, theoretically analyzed the fluid dynamics and energy capacitation of its key component turbine. Through analyzing the data of the tank experimental of the key component turbine, we found the feasibility of this kind of power device. Besides, the experiment proved a particular characteristics of the turbine of maintaining the same rotational direction whatever the directions of the incoming flow of this kind of turbine. The feature of the turbine can eliminate the complicated steering mechanism, which helped the whole device with the advantage of simple structure. The tank experiment not only provided a practical foundation for optimizing the generating device, but also gave a reference method to solve the similar engineering problems.
