Experimental Study on Hydro dynamic Forces acting on a Floating Wave Energy Converter 'Backward Bent Duct Buoy'

摘要

Backward Bent Duct Buoy (BBDB) which has a bent center-pipe opened to the lee side of the incident waves is a kind ofculation, acting on BBDB is carried out. First in order to clarify the handling of air chamber of the BBDB in this experiment; thethe diffraction forces acting on fixed BBDB in waves and the ra- diation forces by forced oscillation test in still water in frquency domain are obtained in wave basin.
