Abstract

The objective of this project is to develop a numerical approach that simulates the behavior of sloshing water with linear free surface waves on a sloping beach inside a 2D rectangular tank. The current computational approach represents the first stage in the development of a precise modeling framework for wave energy converters (WEC). The 2D tank model was generated using the ANSYS FLUENT program, with the Navier–Stokes equations being discretized on a regular structured grid employing the finite volume method (FVM). The validity of the model has been shown for linear sloshing conditions. Moreover, an examination is conducted to analyze the impact of tank flexibility on the phenomenon of liquid sloshing. The simulation was conducted under seven different wave steepness conditions. The primary objective of this study was to investigate the phenomenon of fluid–structure interaction in the context of movable plates. The investigation of the flow domain encompasses a crucial study on the output power of the plate WEC, specifically focusing on scenarios where plate heights remain constant and the motion of fluid streamlines around the plate is considered. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between drag force and wave steepness. This observation illustrates a positive correlation between wave steepness and drag force. The revolutionary structure of the ocean buildings may provide a novel and exact method for estimating the wave strength. The usefulness of WEC lies in its capacity to interact with water waves and harness renewable energy from the ocean. This study introduces a novel computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methodology that effectively captures the dynamic interaction between a solid object and a two-phase flow. The examination of the impact of wave steepness on the dynamics of a movable thin plate in intermediate water is a fresh and noteworthy subject of inquiry. This study has substantial importance as a valuable resource for the development of practical systems and possesses direct relevance in the design of WEC for the purpose of harnessing oceanic energy.
