Wave loadings and scaling effects on and within an Oscillating Water Column (OWC) caisson breakwater

open access: yes, 2019
Even though wave energy has been established as one of the biggest sustainable energy sources over the last 70 years, the development of the wave energy harvesting device is proven to be challenging. Many types of wave converter device have been developed in the past to bring in some of this ocean energy while surviving the harsh conditions of the site.
