    Simulação numérica da ação de ondas sobre um dispositivo de captação de energias das ondas do tipo coluna de água oscilante
    (2011) Davyt, Djavan Perez; Teixeira, Paulo Roberto de Freitas; Ramalhais, Rúben dos Santos; Didier, Eric Lionel
    Neste trabalho é analisado um dispositivo de extração de energia das ondas do tipo coluna de água oscilante sob a ação de ondas regulares de diferentes períodos. São realizadas variações no comprimento submerso da parede frontal e no comprimento da câmara. Para tal é utilizado o código numérico FLUINCO, o qual é baseado nas equações RANS e a discretização é realizada utilizando o método semi-implícito de Taylor-Galerkin de dois passos. Uma formulação lagrangeana-euleriana arbitrária (ALE) é utilizada para permitir a solução de problemas que envolvem movimentos da superfície livre. Alguns resultados são comparados com os obtidos utilizando o programa FLUENT. São apresentados a amplificação (relação entre a altura da onda incidente a e dentro da câmara), distribuição das velocidades e vetores de velocidade.

    Numerical simulations of low reynolds number flows past elastically mounted cylinder
    (2012) Gonçalves, Rafael Almeida; Teixeira, Paulo Roberto de Freitas; Didier, Eric Lionel
    The vortex-induced vibration (VIV) phenomenon has drawn the attention of researchers in Engineering for several decades. An example is the riser used for petroleum exploration, in which it is subjected to marine flows that may cause oscillations due to vortex shedding. In this paper, numerical analyses of the phenomena that occur in the interaction among flows at low Reynolds numbers and elastically mounted cylinders are presented. The simulation is carried out by using the numerical model Ifeinco that uses a semi-implicit two-step Taylor-Galerkin method to discretize the Navier-Stokes equations and the arbitrary Lagrangean-Eulerian formulation to follow the cylinder motion. The rigid body motion description is calculated by using the Newmark method. Firstly, the characteristics of the vortex generation process for the fixed cylinder are analyzed. In this case, the Strouhal number, the mean drag and the RMS lift coefficients for Reynolds numbers ranging from 90 to 140 are shown. Afterwards, an analysis of a flexible supported cylinder (with a spring and a damper) in transverse direction subject to flows with Reynolds numbers ranging from 90 to 140 is carried out. The cylinder displacement and the vibration frequencies are studied; the synchronization between the vortex shedding and the vibration frequency (lock-in) is analyzed. Similar results to the experimental ones developed by Anagnostopoulos and Bearman (1992) were obtained in this study.

    Numerical simulation of an oscillating water column device using a code based on Navier-Stokes equations
    (2013) Teixeira, Paulo Roberto de Freitas; Davyt, Djavan Perez; Didier, Eric Lionel; Ramalhais, Rúben dos Santos
    The study of ways of converting ocean wave energy into a useful one and the improvement of the existing equipment are complex engineering problems and very important issues in today’s society. In this paper, the onshore oscillating water column device, in a 10 m deep channel subjected to 1 m high incident wave and wave periods from 4 s to 15 s, is investigated. The numerical analyses are carried out using Fluinco model that deals with incompressible flow problems based on the Navier-Stokes equations and employs the two-step semi-implicit Taylor-Galerkin method. An aerodynamic model is implemented in the algorithm to determine the air pressure that is imposed on the free surface. Analyses are divided into two sections. In the first section, the flow variables obtained by Fluinco and the commercial model Fluent are compared and similar results are obtained. In the second section, an investigation of the chamber geometry and turbine characteristic relation that provide the best device performance is carried out. In this case, variations in the front wall depth, the chamber length, the turbine characteristic relation and the chamber height, are made.
