- ItemComputational modeling of a regular wave tank(2009) Gomes, Mateus das Neves; Olinto, Cláudio Rodrigues; Rocha, Luiz Alberto Oliveira; Souza, Jeferson Avila; Isoldi, Liércio AndréThis paper presents two different numerical methodologies to generate regular gravity waves in a wave tank. We performed numerical simulations of wave generation through the FLUENT® package, using the Volume of Fluid (VOF) multiphase model to reproduce the wave propagation in the tank. Thus it was possible to analyze two methods for generating regular waves that could be used in future work, especially in the study of devices of energy conversion from ocean waves into electrical energy.
- ItemComputational modeling applied to the study of wave energy converters (WEC)(2014) Seibt, Flávio Medeiros; Letzow, Max; Gomes, Mateus das Neves; Souza, Jeferson Avila; Rocha, Luiz Alberto Oliveira; Santos, Elizaldo Domingues dos; Isoldi, Liércio AndréThe employment of numerical methods to solve engineering problems is a reality, as well as, the worldwide concern about the need of renewable and alternative energy sources. Thus, this work presents a computational model capable of simulating the operating principle of some Wave Energy Converters (WEC). To do so, the device is coupled in a wave tank, where the sea waves are reproduced. The Finite Volume Method (FVM) and the Volume of Fluid (VOF) model are adopted. The results showed that the converter's operating principle can be numerically reproduced, demonstrating the potential of computational modeling to study this subject.
- ItemModelagem computacional de um dispositivo do tipo coluna de água oscilante para a costa de Rio Grande(2009) Gomes, Mateus das Neves; Isoldi, Liércio André; Olinto, Cláudio Rodrigues; Rocha, Luiz Alberto Oliveira; Santos, Elizaldo Domingues dos; Souza, Jeferson AvilaEste trabalho apresenta a modelagem computacional de um conversor de energia das ondas do mar em energia elétrica do tipo Coluna de Água Oscilante (CAO) submetido ao clima de ondas da costa da cidade de Rio Grande. A simulação numérica foi realizada utilizando-se o pacote FLUENT® e empregando-se o modelo multifásico Volume of Fluid (VOF) na geração da onda e na interação da mesma com o conversor. O domínio computacional foi representado por um tanque de ondas acoplado ao dispositivo CAO, possibilitando analisar o seu comportamento quando sujeito a incidência de ondas regulares com características semelhantes ao clima de ondas na costa de Rio Grande. Os resultados obtidos demonstram a potencialidade da região em gerar energia elétrica a partir da energia das ondas do mar, através do conversor tipo CAO.
- ItemComputational modeling of an oscillating water column device for the Rio Grande coast(2009) Gomes, Mateus das Neves; Isoldi, Liércio André; Olinto, Cláudio Rodrigues; Rocha, Luiz Alberto Oliveira; Souza, Jeferson AvilaThis work presents the computational modeling of a converter of wave energy in electrical energy. The converter is Oscillating Water Column (OWC) type, submitted to the wave climate of Rio Grande city. The numerical simulation was performed using FLUE)T® package and employing the multiphase Volume of Fluid (VOF) model in the wave generation and in the interaction between the wave and the converter device. The computational domain was represented by a wave tank coupled with the OWC device. This domain allows the behavior analysis to be performed when the device is subjected to the incidence of regular waves. The waves were molded to represent the characteristics of the Rio Grande coastclimate. Results demonstrate that the OWC converter can be successfully used to convert the Rio Grande's coast wave energy in useful electrical energy.
