该项目将研究压电波能量转换器。我们将使用变分方法以适合于海洋工程范例的形式推导运动方程，然后用光滑粒子流体力学解析求解这些方程。利用这些创新技术，该项目将产生新的知识，能够阐明复杂流体运动和可变形结构相互作用时发生的多方面物理现象。项目成果包括数学和计算方法的发展，以处理压电弹性流体系统的复杂行为。这些突破性的方法将允许对这些波浪能系统进行分析并评估其有效性。

The project will investigate piezoelectric wave energy converters. We will derive the equations of motion in a form suitable for use in marine engineering paradigms using variational methods and then solve these analytically and with smoothed particle hydrodynamics. Using these innovative techniques, this project will generate new knowledge capable of elucidating the multifaceted physical phenomena that occur when complex fluid motion and deformable structures interact. The project outcomes include the development of mathematical and computation methods to handle intricate behaviours of piezoelectric elastic-fluids systems. These groundbreaking methods will allow these wave energy systems to be analysed and their effectiveness assessed.
