Abstract：For the array-type oscillating buoy wave energy conversion device,an experi-mental apparatus that can be used for test research in the laboratory is proposed.This experimental apparatus consists of a group of cylindrical array flumes,and under the drive of hydrodynamic system the water level of the flumes can moves up and down ac-cording to the function set by computer.The assumptions made for the apparatus mod-el,i.e.the cylindrical array flumes,is argued based on wave theory.The working prin-ciple,structure design,technical parameters,control circuit and operating practices of the apparatus are introduced in detail and its actual running and testing are presented. The results show that the design of the apparatus is reasonable and feasible,and the simulated wave height is far higher than that in the existing wave pool,forming a special simulating wave making device.This apparatus could provide a kind of multi-function, large amplitude,high efficiency and flexible experimental platform for developing differ-ent forms of oscillating buoy wave energy conversion equipment.
