Abstract

A fully-passive coupled-pitching hydrofoil is a developing trend for tidal-current power capture in the future. A two-dimensional numerical model was established to investigate the hydrodynamic characteristics and energy-harvesting performances of the hydrofoil under this operating mode, which was validated by corresponding experimental data. A benchmark case with a successful self-starting and stable working state was proposed. Effects of the Reynolds number, initial angle of attack, and primary moment of inertia on the operating mechanism of the hydrofoil were studied with the analysis of the flow structure around the hydrofoil and pressure and torque distributions. The variations of these parameters significantly influenced the generation of the leading-edge vortex, resulting in different phase differences between the primary and secondary passive pitching motions. The power coefficient and energy-harvesting efficiency peaked at 0.57 and 0.22, respectively.
全被动耦合俯仰水翼能量收集性能的数值研究
全无源耦合俯仰水翼是未来潮流蓄能的发展趋势。建立了二维数值模型,研究了该工作模式下水翼的水动力特性和集能性能,并通过相应的实验数据进行了验证。提出了一种自启动成功且工作状态稳定的基准工况。研究了雷诺数、初始攻角和初始转动惯量对水翼工作机理的影响,分析了水翼周围的流动结构和压力、扭矩分布。这些参数的变化显著影响了前缘涡的产生,导致主、次被动俯仰运动的相位差不同。功率系数和能量收集效率最高,分别为0.57和0.22。
