A linearization was developed and used for both code verification and design space exploration. The current results build on the proposed theoretical model formulated by John Schauer, Emily M. Krehnovi, and Andrew K. Henrick [1], theorizing that a man-made resonator could achieve an average power capacity on the order of hundreds of gigawatts. The state-of-the-art model explored here addresses some of the inadequate assumptions present in their model, being based on a more general mechanical energy formulation developed by Henrick [2]. The problem with inconstant power production of the dynamic system is tackled by the use of a spillway, modeled using sharp-crested weir equations, installed across half the perimeter of the resonator’s reservoir. Taking advantage of the large amplitude oscillation of this reservoir to provide an overflow through a spillway is shown to facilitate power availability throughout the cycle. Power production for the overflow is calculated considering all overflow water volume could be drained at a constant rate, recovering the available elevation head. 2016-05-23 English text University of Dayton / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=dayton1462460475 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=dayton1462460475 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
