Beschreibung
This is a book aiming to provide some fundamental materials and examples for better understandings to the wave energy conversion and extraction. This book is organised in chapters on different topics, and there are total 13 chapters, including: the brief history and introduction of wave energy utilisation (Ch. 1); the basics of the fluid dynamics (Ch2) and potential flow theory (Ch. 3); the linear wave theory (Ch. 4) and wind-generated waves (Ch5); potential flow theory for fluid-structure interactions (Ch6); the potential decompositions for diffraction and radiation problems (Ch. 7); the panel method for solving the potential flow problem (Ch. 8); the principles of wave energy conversion (Ch. 9); the power take-off optimisation for improving wave energy extraction (Ch10); time-domain method and analysis (Ch. 11); control technologies for improving wave energy extraction (Ch. 12); the fundamentals of physical modelling for wave energy converters (Ch. 13).
