The wave energy absorption efficiency and the first-order and the time-mean second-order wave loads of a three-dimensional bottom-mounted oscillating water column (OWC) chamber structure are studied. The potential problem is solved by making use of a hybrid Green integral equation associated with the finite-waterdepth free-surface Green function outside a twin chamber and the Rankine Green function inside taking account of the fluctuating air pressure inside the chamber. Numerical results of the primary wave energy converting efficiency and the oscillating and steady wave loads of a three-dimensional bottom-mounted OWC pilot plant have been presented.

Oscillating wave amplitude in a bottom-mounted OWC chamber designed for wave energy converter is investigated by applying characteristic wave conditions in Korean coastal water. The effects of shape parameters of OWC chamber in a view of wave energy absorbing capability are analyzed. Both experimental and numerical approaches are adopted and their results are compared to optimize the shape parameters which can result in a maximum power production under given wave distribution. The experiment was carried out in a wave flume under 2-D assumption of OWC chamber. The numerical scheme employed a hybrid Green integral equation which adopts the Rankine Green function inside chamber to take account of fluctuating air pressure, while it uses the Kelvin Green function in outer domain. Air duct diameter, chamber width, and submerged depths of front skirt and back wall of chamber changes the magnitude and peak frequency of wave absorption significantly.

Wave energy absorption by a flap equipped with a harbor in a water of finite depth is studied. The wave potential is calculated by a hybrid integral equation consisting of Green integral equations associated with Rankine and Kelvin Green functions. The absorbed wave energy is calculated by both the near-field and far-field methods. The present methods can be used for the design of a flap-harbor wave energy absorber since the numerical results by the two methods are in good agreement.

In this paper, wave energy absorption of OWC(oscillating water column) device is analyzed. The analytic model consists of a partially immersed circular vertical cylinder open at its end and an air turbine connected with the air chamber. The boundary value problem is decomposed into scattering problem related to scattering by an incident wave in the absence of a pressure variation and radiation problem describing the flow due to an oscillating pressure in the absence of an incident wave. By invoking the continuity of an air flow inside the chamber, the oscillating pressure in a chamber is derived. With oscillating pressure, the mean power absorbed by OWC device and the capture width are obtained. In numerical calculation, the induced volume flux across the internal free surface of the chamber in the scattering and radiation problem and the maximum capture width are compared with various design parameters such as radius and submergence depth of chamber and wave conditions. The maximum capture width obtained by choosing the optimal value of turbine constant occurs at the first resonant mode (Helmholtz mode) among the natural frequencies of a circular cylinder chamber.

본 연구에서는 기존의 ㅡ자형, ㄴ자형, ㄷ자형 조파시스템이 경사진 방향으로 가동될 때 발생되는 에너지의 불연속성으로 인한 회절철상이나 구조물에서 반사된 파가 조파판에서 발생하는 재 반사 철상의 단점을 보완할 수 있도록 곡선형태의 조파판을 배치하여 수치실험을 행하였다. 조파판을 곡선형으로 배치시켜 실험 대상물에서부터 반사된 파가 가능한 조파판에 직각으로 부딪치도록 유도하였다. 편미분 격자생성기법을 도입하여 구성된 곡선형 격자망에서 Copeland(1985)의 완경사 방정식을 이용하여 수치해석 하였다. 우선, 1차원 실험영역에서 파를 생성하여 대상구조물에서 반사되어 돌아온 반사파 성분을 조파판에서 흡수하면서 입사파를 생성하는 현상을 재현하였다. 그 후, 실험영역을 2차원으로 확장시켜 조파판을 곡선형으로 배치하여 수치 실험하여 진행파와 회절파의 중첩으로 고안된 해석해와 수치 해를 비교하려다. 그 결과, 기존의 조파시스템에 비하여 에너지 불연속선에서의 회절 현상도 발생하지 않고 반사파 성분을 효율적으로 흡수하는데 효과적임을 알아냈다.

The energy absorption efficiency of a wave power generation system is calculated as the ratio of the wave power to the power of the system. Because absorption efficiency depends on the dynamic behavior of the wave power generation system, a dynamic analysis of the wave power generation system is required to estimate the energy absorption efficiency of the system. In this study, a dynamic analysis of the wave power generation system under wave loads is performed to estimate the energy absorption efficiency. RecurDyn is employed to carry out the dynamic analysis of the system, and the Morison equation is used for the wave load model. According to the results, the lower the wave height and the shorter the period, the higher is the absorption efficiency of the system.

Due to the constantly varying sea-state with which any wave energy conversion device must contend in order to extract energy efficiently , the ability to control the device's position relative to the incident waves is critical in achieving the creation of a truly functional and economical wave energy device. In this paper, the authors will propose methodology based on the theory of a variable structure system to utilize a three dimensional source distribution as a model to estimate anticipated surge, sway and yaw of a wave energy conversion device relative to varying angles and characteristics of incident waves and there from derive a feedback to a sliding mode controller which would reposition the device so as to maximize its ability to extract energy from waves in constantly varying ocean conditions.

원적외선의 이용은 에너지절약을 목적으로한 효율이 높은 열전파형태로서 주로 응용되고 있다. 따라서 방사체의 적외선 방사특성과 피가열체의 적외선 흡수특성과의 관계가 먼저 명확하게 규명되어야 한다. 그러면, 그 흡수특성과 정합된 원적외선 방사세라믹스의 제작도 가능하게 되어갈 것이므로 원적외선의 작용효과가 각종 분야에서 이용되어 갈 것이다. 예를들면 의료분야에서 과거에는 인체의 일부를 가온할 필요가 있을 때에는 고주파전류, 마이크로파 또는 환부를 유동 파라핀속에 넣어 환부를 따뜻하게 하는 방법 등이 있지만 만약 어떤파장의 원적외선이 인체의 피부 깊숙이 투과가 가능하다면 마이크로파 방생장치 대신에 원적외선의 발생장치가 값이 저렴하고 기온부를 국소로 제한 할 수 있으므로 널리 사용되어질 것이다. 또 식품분야에서는 에너지절약의 관점에서 뿐만아니라 조리의 관점에서도 원적외선의 이용이 진전되어 갈 것으로 생각된다. 한편 원적외선센서의 진전은 놀랄만하여 앞으로 초전도세라믹스를 이용한 원적외선 검출의 죠셉슨센서는 더욱 진전되어 질것으로 생각된다. 어떻든 각종 원적외선방사 세라믹스의 개발과 원적외선 영역에서의 파장 특성에 대한 측정법이 확립되어짐에 따라서 원적외선 이용은 앞으로 각종방면에 진전되어질 것이다.

본 연구는 우리나라 연안해역의 파랑특성과 기존에 개발된 방파제의 특성을 근거로 하여 개념만 정립되어 있는 Active Device형 부유식 방파제(그물형 부유식 방파제)의 가능성 검증을 목적으로 수행하였다. 본 논문에서는 그물형 부유식 방파제의 방파효율과 관련한 인자들(부유체의 형상, 홀수, 각부유체간의 연결방식)의 특성을 실험을 통하여 비교 분석하였다. 작은 부유체를 연결한 형태인 그물형 부유식 방파제는 부유체 사이를 지나가는 파랑 에너지를 부유체의 운동으로 소멸시키는 형태이다. 실험결과 부유체가 완전히 Heave 운동만 한다면 상당한 파에너지를 흡수할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

In this study, the extraction efficiency and reflection coefficient by a two-dimensional OWC (Oscillating Water Column) WEC (wave energy converter) installed in front of a seawall was investigated for regular/irregular waves. The matched eigenfunction expansion method (MEEM) based on the linear potential theory was applied as an analytical tool. The diffraction problem by the incident wave in the open-chamber and the radiation problem by the oscillating pressure in the closed-chamber were solved to obtain the volume fluxes at the internal free-surface. Applying the volume fluxes into the continuity equation for the airflow in a chamber, we got the oscillating air pressure. The maximum extracted power and corresponding reflection coefficient were determined at the optimal turbine coefficient that maximizes the extracted power. OWC device designed for a high extracted efficiency simultaneously contributes to reduce reflected waves.
