Hydrodynamic performance of a multi-Oscillating Water Column (OWC) platform [PDF]
A rectangular barge consisting of multiple oscillating water columns (OWCs) is considered in this paper, hereinafter referred to as a multi–OWC platform. Each OWC chamber is enclosed by two partially submerged vertical walls and the deck of the platform.

Oscillating Water Column (OWC) Wave Energy Converter Part 1: Fixed OWC
This study reviews the recent development and research results of a fixed oscillating water column (OWC) wave energy converter (WEC). The OWC WEC can be divided into fixed and floating types based on the installation location and movement of the ...

Broadband wave conversion by a “Pan Flute”-type multi-oscillating-water-column (M−OWC) breakwater system [PDF]
Majority of wave energy converters (WEC) have a relatively narrower capture due to their design philosophy, which focus on matching WEC’s natural frequency to a single peak frequency of a seastate spectrum. This paper introduces an innovative “Pan Flute”-type WEC embedded into a breakwater.
