Sea wave energy is being increasingly regarded in many countries as a major and
promising resource. The paper deals with the development of wave energy utilization since …

In a time span of over 3,000 years, the function of harbor breakwaters has remained the
same (ie, the energy dissipation), with differences depending on the general breakwater …

The hydrodynamic performance of a fixed Oscillating Water Column (OWC) wave energy
device under various wave conditions and geometric parameters was tested experimentally …

The effect on the efficiency of the device of implementing a dual-chamber oscillating water
column (OWC) placed over stepped bottom is analysed. The mathematical problem is …

In the present study, the performance of breakwater-integrated OWC (oscillating water
column) wave energy converter devices is analyzed under the action of unidirectional …

Oscillating water column (OWC) is one of the mechanisms for extracting wave energy from
ocean waves. In this study, we experimentally investigated the hydrodynamic performance …

Abstract Oscillating Water Columns (OWCs) are some of the most-studied wave energy
converters (WECs). Previous work showed that the geometric characteristics of the OWC can …

Since the nineties, the OWC (Oscillating Water Column) plants were developed at full scale
to produce electrical power from ocean waves [1]. A prototype was built into a caisson …

A multiple Oscillating Water Column (OWC) device may provide better wave absorption over
a wider frequency bandwidth than a single-chamber OWC due to multiple resonances. The …

Wave Mechanics and Wave Loads on Marine Structures provides a new perspective on the
calculation of wave forces on ocean structures, unifying the deterministic and probabilistic …
