Hydrodynamic Investigation of a Concentric Cylindrical OWC Wave Energy Converter

Hydrodynamic Investigation of a Concentric Cylindrical OWC Wave Energy Converter

A fixed, concentric, cylindrical oscillating water column (OWC) wave energy converter (WEC) is proposed for shallow offshore sites. Compared with the existing shoreline OWC device, this wave energy device is not restricted by the wave directions and coastline geography conditions. Analytical solutio...
