在这项研究中，考虑了两个相互作用的具有液压动力输出(PTOS)的波能转换器阵列。利用经典的线性位势理论推导出了一种时间域模型。为了确定距离对阵列中每个系统在规则波和不规则波中的捕获宽度的影响，进行了数值模拟和参数研究。结果表明，当系统接近时，前部系统(最先与波浪相遇)比后部系统受波浪干扰的影响更大。但对于前系统，波相互作用随距离减小的速度比后系统快。对于后一个系统，似乎波相互作用的影响即使在距离第一个系统很远的地方(14直径)仍然是显著的。
In this study, an array of two interacting wave energy converters with hydraulic power take off (PTOs) is considered. A time domain model is derived by using classical linear potential theory. Numerical simulations and parametric studies are performed in order to determine the influence of the distance on the capture width of each system in the array, in both regular and irregular waves. It is shown that when the systems are close, the front system (which meets the waves first) is more affected by wave interaction than the rear system. But the wave interactions decrease faster with the distance for the front system than for the rear system. For this latter system, it seems that the effect of wave interactions remains noticeable even far (14 diameters) from the first system.
