1 Tank Design Calculations:

The tank dimensions can be calculated according to (Molin, 2023) formulas:

Wave height= H’, water depth = D, Wave Period = T, λ=Wavelength , c = Wave celerity

Power Required for The hydraulic Actuator

Figure 1:. Hill's pioneering experiments provided the force-velocity curve shown here. Because
power is the product of force and velocity, these two measurements yield one more variable.
Adapted from Hill (1950).
Power = Force X Wave Velocity
λ
The basic relationship for Wave Velocity is v = d / t =
t
(Wang, 2003)

F=Pavg X A

= ρgh X h X w

F=(1000X9.81X1)(1X1X1)=9810≈ 10 KN

Power= 10KN X 0.78 = 12.3 KW

Where:

P: is the wave energy flux per unit of wave-crest length,

Hm0: the significant wave height,

T: the wave period,

ρ: the water density

g: the acceleration by gravity
