Impulse responses of a floating cylinder for recovering wave energy

Abstract

Over the last few decades, the world has focused its attention on renewable energies and how to exploit them in the right way. Recovering wave energy and converting it into electrical energy is of major interest to researchers. This work focuses on calculating the impulse response of a floating cylinder subjected to wave action using two methods. One is analytical, based on the article by Cummins, and the other is numerical, using the "NEMOH" code, in order to compare the two methods.

Keywords: Energy recovery, Waves, Impulse response, Floating cylinder, "NEMOH" code, Morison model.
