| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this research, a shallow water flow field estimation analysis, based on the Kalman filter FEM, for locating the optimal positions for tidal stream power generation systems was carried out. In this flow field analysis, the shallow water equation is used as the governing equation. The Galerkin and the selective lumping methods are employed as discretization techniques in space and time, respectively. The Kalman filter theory is applied to estimate the flow field. As a numerical example, we carry out a flow estimation analysis for practical bay model. The high estimation accuracy of the flow field estimation based on the Kalman filter FEM is confirmed by comparison with conventional FEM. The electric power generation potential is also computed using the estimated flow field. In addition, numerical experiments using the ensemble Kalman filter FEM was also carried out for the application to the numerical model using the non-linear shallow water equation.
