  • A novel linear generator for wave energy applications

    Creator:
    Ernst, Steven George
    Abstract:
    With the increasing effort to identify alternative methods of energy generation, extraction of ocean energy has gathered a large interest. Research and industry have begun considering wave energy as the next new alternative energy. The unique challenges of ocean energy requires a wave energy converter to be both robust and...

  • Scaled modeling and simulation of ocean wave linear generator buoy systems

    Creator:
    Gore, Ganesh P.
    Abstract:
    Accurate scaled modeling and simulation are critical to advancing ocean wave linear generator buoys. A 100th scaled model of ocean wave generator buoy systems is analyzed by solving the Navier-Stokes equations. These equations are numerically solved using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) by implementing the front capturing method. In this thesis,...
