Energy from the sea: computational modeling of an overtopping device. In: Southern Conference on Computational Modeling, 3., 2009, Rio Grande. Anais eletrônicos...

Acesso em: 07 dez. 2011.http://repositorio.furg.br/handle/1/1662This work presents a brief study about the wave energy as well as a computational modeling of an overtopping device. The numerical simulation was performed with the FLUE T® Computational Fluid Dynamic software code, employing the multiphase Volume of Fluid (VOF) model. The obtained results showed a satisfactory agreement between the numerical and analytical solutions, being the maximum difference calculated for the wave generation of approximated 4.6%. It was also observed that the knowledge of the wave height and an adequate ramp design are factors that determine the overtopping occurrence.porrestrict accessWave energyOvertopping deviceVolume of fluid (VOF) modelconferenceObject10.1109/MCSUL.2009.29
