摘 要:In this paper,two smoothed particle hydrodynamics(SPH)models,namely SPH-W and SPH-C were used to evaluate the motion response of a point absorber wave energy converter(WEC).In the SPH-W model,a long wave flume was constructed and a long simulation was performed to obtain the motion response of the *** the SPH-C model,the SPH method is only used to find the hydrodynamic coefficients of the device by analysing a few seconds of free-decaying motion of WEC in calm water in a much smaller numerical ***,these coefficients were inserted in the equation of motion of a heaving WEC that was solved using a 4th order Runge-Kutta(ODE45)solver in ***,the energy conservation property of the WCSPH model was examined through a standing wave benchmark ***,the wavepoint absorber interaction was *** the simulation time for SPH-C model is much smaller than that of SPH-W,it gave almost similar results for the motion response of *** two models were used to evaluate the effects of the control force and the draft of a cone-cylinder point absorber on its hydrodynamic *** results showed that compared to the effect of the supplementary inertia,changes in the draft of the WEC have a small influence on its hydrodynamic *** buoy draft has an inverse relationship with both added mass and damping ***,increasing the supplementary mass increases the added mass and decreases the hydrodynamic damping coefficients.
