Wavemaker development

西北水利咨询公司(NHC)正在寻求改善他们的测试水箱设施，以提供 一流的海洋可再生能源设备研究中心。其中最主要的是波浪能 转换(WEC)设备，经常被认为是加拿大未来可再生能源产品组合中的一个重要条目 解决办法。出于这个原因，NHC迫切希望在他们现有的水槽测试中加入造波设备 坦克将提供在受控环境中评估各种设计的绝佳机会 设置，为小型能源设备提供高质量的实验波箱设施。主要目标是 这个项目的目的是设计一个可以复制规则、多色和不规则的造波机系统 水箱中名义上的一维波列中的波。此外，被动或主动吸收波的方法将是 实施以最大限度地减少反射波。在温哥华提供高质量的造波设施 将使开发西海岸项目变得更容易，支持和加强加拿大的 发展海洋可再生能源和更新沿海基础设施的能力，以应对气候变化。

Northwest Hydraulic Consultants (NHC) is seeking to improve their testing tank facility in order to provide a first class research centre for marine renewable energy devices. Chief among these are Wave Energy Conversion (WEC) devices, often cited as an important entry in Canadas future portfolio of renewable energy solutions. For this reason, NHC is eager to incorporate a wavemaker device into their existing flume testing tank that will provide an excellent opportunity to assess a variety of designs in a controlled environmental setting, providing a high quality experimental wave tank facility for small scale energy devices. The main goal of this project is to design a wavemaker system that can reproduce regular, polychromatic, as well as irregular waves in a nominally 1D wave train in the tank. In addition, passive or active wave absorption methods will be implemented to minimize reflected waves. The provision of a high quality wave making facility in Vancouver would give easier access to the development of West Coast projects, supporting and strengthening Canada's abilities to develop marine renewable energy and renew coastal infrastructure in the face of climate change.
