Abstract

In the realm of renewable energy, researchers worldwide have been paying close attention to developing the Oscillating Wave Surge Converter (OWSC) device. This device has the potential to harness the power of ocean waves and convert it into a reliable source of clean energy. Hydrodynamic characteristics are essential parameters in developing OWSC devices. Therefore, this research conducted a hydrodynamic study on the OWSC device with variations in ocean wave periods, including T= 1.5, 1.7, 1.9, 2.1, and 2.3. The Boundary Element Method (BEM) describes the interaction between sea waves and floating body structures. This method assumes incompressible, inviscid, and irrotational flow. A numerical approach is used as a calculation method followed by verification and validation to support the level of actualization. The research results showed that the incident wave caused the OWSC device to experience a deviation from its equilibrium position in the form of an oscillating flap inclination angle as a form of hydrodynamic characteristics. The sea wave period correlatedwith the rate of change in flap position over time, including the maximum deviation in the flap angle. As a power plant, the performance of the OWSC device can work at reasonably short-wave period intervals based on the device's ability to produce mechanical power. The highest average mechanical power was achieved in the T= 1.5 period of 34.49 Watts with an efficiency of up to 52.43%. The OWSC device requires a high intensity of wave energy in a short duration to generate optimal mechanical power. It is important to note that optimal mechanical power generation is crucial for the OWSC device to function effectively. Therefore, the device should be placed in a location where the wave energy intensity is consistently high.

Abstract

The phenomenon of flow separation plays a vital role in the industrial world. The backward-facing step (BFS) is a general form representing flow separation. This study investigates the influence of the slope angle of the step on BFS flow characteristics at various low Reynolds numbers. According to the CFD results, the flow separation phenomenon forms a circulation zone for each increase in Reynolds numbers. This phenomenon is a result of the sudden expansion of the channel geometry. The BFS with the slope angle of the step demonstrates that the increase in the recirculation zone can be minimized, thus appropriately delaying flow separation. The recirculation zone causes fluid flow to reverse direction, affecting fluid flow efficiency due to resulting pressure differences. Therefore, a BFS with the slope angle of the step exhibits a more efficient flow phenomenon by minimizing the recirculation zone.

Abstract

An efficient thermal reduction system is crucial for ensuring the optimal performance and safety of Electric Vehicle (EV) batteries, notably by maintaining uniform temperature distribution and minimizing the risk of thermal runaway. This study presents a numerical investigation of the thermal behaviour of a liquid-cooled system for a cylindrical Li-ion 42110 battery pack, focusing on the influence of varying cold-plate spacing. Three cold plate configurations with spacing ratios r = 0.78, r = 0.33, and r = 0 were examined, with r = 0.78 corresponding to the most significant separation. The simulation employed a Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) model to resolve fluid flow and energy transport, and the heat-generation profile was derived from experimental data. The results show that all cooling configurations substantially reduced the maximum temperature relative to the uncooled case, with the widest spacing (r = 0.78) achieving the most significant average reduction of 19.736%. However, designs with smaller spacing exhibited slightly higher temperatures and reduced uniformity, particularly near the positive pole, where heat concentration is more pronounced. The temperature deviation remained within the acceptable 2% threshold. These findings highlight not only the thermal effectiveness of each spacing ratio but also its design implications, demonstrating that spacing plays a critical role in controlling peak temperature and maintaining uniformity. Overall, the study emphasizes that strategic cold-plate spacing is essential for reliable, efficient, and thermally stable battery operation in EV applications.

Abstract

With the growing demand for energy and the need to transition to renewable sources, ocean wave energy presents great potential. The Oscillating Wave Surge Converter (OWSC) is a promising technology due to its nearshore applicability, structural simplicity, and robust design. This study systematically investigates the effect of flap thickness on the dynamic performance of a hinge-mounted OWSC using the Boundary Element Method (BEM).   The research models the hydrodynamic interactions and analyzes the effects of three different flap thicknesses on key metrics, including maximum angle deviation, angular velocity, torque, and power capture. The results indicate that all flap variations demonstrate stable oscillatory movement, but greater flap thickness reduces the maximum angle deviation due to increased inertia and hydrostatic pressure. A resonant peak was observed for all thicknesses at a wave period of 1.3 seconds, where energy transfer was maximized. At this frequency, the thickest flap achieved the highest efficiency (78.94%), followed by the intermediate (77.50%) and thinnest (70.77%) variations. The findings suggest that while flap thickness influences efficiency, the primary factor for maximizing energy capture is the alignment of the wave period with the device's natural frequency.
