Aplikazio biomimetikoak itsas energien atzemate-gailuetan

Abstract

The study of nature as a source of inspiration has resulted in the design of different energy harnessing devices from the sea. This article brings together the marine devices based on biomimicry, focusing on those whose behavior favors the energy capture [1]. Finally, as the skin of sharks is formed by tiny spicules that allow breaking the boundary layer of the fluid and, thus, reducing the resistance to advance of the shark [2], the application under study in wave flume energy absorption systems will be detailed, which are laboratory devices that allow wave generation phenomena to be reproduced at reduced scale.
