User-Project Objectives
Summary:
The objectives of this project are to answer the following questions, and to provide data to support subsequent numerical modeling of the Anaconda wavepower device:
- How well is the basic theory of Farley & Rainey (2006b) supported by measurements?
- What capture widths can be demonstrated over a range of wave frequencies with a simple power take-off system under laboratory conditions in regular waves?
- How does the device behave in irregular waves and in extreme waves?
