The significance of coastal zone object protection using wave electrical energy complexes (WEECs) is dealt with. The authors suggest using a floating wave power plant (FWPP), which comprises electrical energy functions and provides coastal zone protection. Features of simulating FWPP in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modules are considered. The main simulation stages, construction order, the necessary initial and boundary conditions, calculation objectives and results are described and analyzed. Analysis and adjustment of input parameters (wave amplitude, wave disturbance frequency, FWPP geometric parameters) determining the FWPP fluid flow output parameters (dynamic, total pressure, flow rate, flow velocity) were carried out. Calculation process optimization was carried out by comparing the data obtained using a 2-D solver. The main stages of wave disturbances-with-FWPP-structure interaction have been determined. Epures of flow velocity, pressure, flow path and volume flow rate were constructed and analyzed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
