| dc.description.abstract | This paper presents the preliminary composite design of the lab scale CCell system, a curved oscillating surge wave energy converter. Through a combination of laboratory data, manufacturing optimisation and numerical models, it has been shown that composites offer the flexibility to tune the strength and buoyancy of the system in order to perform effectively at a small scale. Validation of the numerical models has been carried out from laboratory data, with discrepancies between the two accounted to the static nature of the numerical models. This work provides a good foundation to develop these models, from which the design of larger scale devices can be carried out with greater confidence. | en_GB |
