AbstractWe present a new analytical model from which a model-based controller can be derived for a cyclorotor-based wave energy converter (WEC). Few cyclorotor-based WEC concepts and models have previously been studied and only one control strategy for the entire wave cancellation has been tested. Our model is derived for a horizontal cyclorotor with N hydrofoils and is suitable for the application of various control algorithms and the calculation of various performance metrics. The mechanical model is based on Newton’s second law for rotation. The cyclorotor operates in two dimensional potential flow. This paper modeled the velocity field in detail around the turbine with N hydrofoils by explaining each velocity term and estimated the generated torque using two methods (point source method and thin-chord method). The developed model is very convenient for control design, using the power take off torque and hydrofoil pitch angles as control inputs. The authors of this work have derived new, exact analytic functions for the free surface perturbation and induced fluid velocity field caused by hydrofoil rotation. These new formulae significantly decrease the model calculation time and increase the accuracy of the results. The new equations also provide useful insight into the nature of the associated variables, and are successfully validated against the results of physical experiments and numerical calculations previously published by two independent research groups. Representation of hydrofoils as both a point source and a thin chord were analysed, with both models cross-validated for the case of free rotation in monochromatic waves.

Based on vortex-velocity method, the control equations of laminar flow of high vicious fluid in a square cavity driven by the continuous periodic vibration motion of upper and bottom lids are derived. And then the numerical solution of the transient velocity field which is based on the superposition method is obtained by using the finite volume method. The motion of the passive tracer is numerically integrated by the fourth order adaptive Runge-Kutta scheme. The results show that when the frequency is below 0.1Hz, the mixing is controlled by the globally chaotic mixing. While the frequency increases to between 0.1 Hz and 0.5 Hz, the quasi-periodic islands occur in the region of chaotic motion. After the frequency exceeds 0.5Hz, the mixing degenerates into the regular laminar mixing. Through the contrasts of Poincaré sections, it is proved that the frequency not only has the effect on the scales of KAM islands, but also dominates the mixing transition from the globally chaotic mixing to the traditionally regular laminar mixing.
