Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to do research and development in the technology of utilizing ocean energy, development of wave overtopping type wave power generation equipment is performed now. The element which is most needed in order to design this wave overtopping type wave power generation equipment is grasping the volume of overtopping of the sea wave from which wave height and period change. Then, this research formulized the volume of overtopping to the significant wave height and the significant wave period of an irregular wave which are actual sea waves by experimental findings, and the statistical analysis and the wave theory of the wave. Moreover, the simulation technology which calculates volume of overtopping was developed. As a result, while formulizing volume of overtopping due to wave energy, the technique of carrying out the numerical simulation of the wave overtopping phenomenon was established.
