摘要
近年来,振荡水柱形式在波能转换装置中得到了广泛应用,由于波况不同,需对气室加以研究并对其形状参量进行优化,从而使空气流速和能量转换达到最大值。利用基于VOF模型建立二维数值波浪水槽,将数值计算的振荡水柱在气室内的升沉运动与物理模型试验进行比较,验证其正确性,并将OWC气室的研究手段予以推广。
Oscillating Water Column （OWC） plants have been widely employed in wave energy coversion applications. It is necessary to investigate the chamber and optimize its shape parameters for maximizing air flow and energy conversion due to the wave conditions. A 2D numerical wave tank based on a Fluent and VOF model is developed to generate the incident waves and is validated by theoretical solutions. The oscillating water column motion in the chamber predicted by the numerical method is compared with the available experimental data to make out the wave tank may be applied in the ivestigation of the OWC chamber.
