Fluid–Structure Interaction: Modeling for Futusre in Global Impact
摘要
This chapter focuses on fluid–structure interaction (FSI) modeling for oscillating water column (OWCOscillating Water Column (OWC)) wave energy convertersWave Energy Converter (WEC) which combines mathematical modelingMathematical modeling, advanced CFDComputational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) methods, and reduced-order modeling techniques to nonlinear fluid, structural, and pneumatic dynamic integration, and the capture of pneumatic dynamics. It analyzes the design efficiency of hybrid AIArtificial Intelligence (AI)–CFDComputational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) surrogates compared to full-scale solvers, extends the analysis to the turbine coupling and probabilistic fatigue analysis, and identifies digital twins for monitoring and control purposes. The fixed and floating OWCOscillating Water Column (OWC) case studies illustrate the performance and durability trade-offs, while global deployment perspectives highlight the international role of OWCsOscillating Water Column (OWC) as complementary assets to scalable marine renewables and long-term carbon neutrality.
