The Fluid Dynamics Based Solar Tracking System is developed for floating solar. As it incorporates dynamic fluid-structure interactions, its model for structural analysis is closer to the real working conditions of the structures on the body of water. As a result, the structures are designed to be simpler and lighter, leading to saving cost of materials and installation while maintaining structural stability. This invention mainly focuses on structural components of liquid-based damping systems and related methods of the proposed Fluid Dynamics Based Solar Tracking System. These are defined, described, specified and demonstrated with respect to the concept of dynamic fluid-structure interaction. In addition to a number of methods added such as damping systems, the destructive limit of the geometrical variable structure is also established and presented for structural designs.
