The dynamics of Wave Carpet - a novel deep water wave energy design
2003
Wave Carpet is a novel deep offshore wave-power floating system concept funded by the Office of Naval Research that will have low overall life cycle cost due to an integrated design and be rapidly re-deployable. In this paper we numerically model the Wave Carpet motion using a coupled hydro-elastic time-domain solution. The problem is resolved by the finite element method in two-dimensions with certain restrictions on the initial distribution of the potential function. Typical results of the geometrical and physical parameters on energy distribution along the carpet are presented.
