The oscillating-water-column (OWC) wave energy converter with air turbine has been object
of extensive research and development effort, including the deployment of floating and fixed …

This research deals with the dynamic similarity problem for Oscillating Water Column (OWC)
devices, for which air is the fluid that is subject to thermodynamic transformations in the …

The growth of the offshore wind industry in the last couple of decades has made this
technology a key player in the maritime sector. The sustainable development of the offshore …

Air compressibility is often neglected in experimental work due to practical difficulties, even
though it is known to affect the performance of OWC wave energy converters. The key …

This paper deals with the thermodynamic processes governing an Oscillating Water Column
(OWC) device, focusing on the entropy variation and the energy and heat budgets over the …

This paper present a research on the performance efficiency and sustainability of an
Oscillating Water Column (OWC) simple off-shore device, accounting for the influence of …

In this study, a numerical analysis of the performance of two Oscillating Water Column
(OWC) wave energy converters, at different front and back wall slopes, was carried out. The …

The most studied device used for extracting wave energy is the Oscillating Water Column
(OWC). In general, numerical simulations of these cases by means of models based on …

The hydrodynamic performance of a shore-fixed oscillating water column (OWC) device in
the presence of convex, concave and sloped step-type bottom profiles is investigated. The …

This paper presents a theoretical novel approach to a marine infrastructure, which jointly
uses an OWC (Oscillating Water Column) and hydrogen electrolysis as a clean source of …
