Abstract

A cylindrical duct absorbing energy from incident surface waves is considered. The asymptotic properties of the scattering and radiation potentials are determined, to yield the hydrodynamic quantities on which the energy absorption characteristics of the duct can be shown to depend. It is shown that it is possible to tune the resonant response of the duct to absorb the maximum theoretical energy at a given frequency. Curves are presented showing the variation of energy absorption and the amplitude of the duct response with frequency for various depths of submergence and various tuning frequencies.
