A novel dual-chamber oscillating water column system with dual lip-wall pitching motions for wave energy conversion

Chen Wang et al.

Summary: The study focuses on the dual-chamber Oscillating Water Column (OWC) system and proposes a concept of a dual-chamber OWC device with pitching front and mid lip-walls simultaneously. The performance of the device in wave energy capturing is analyzed based on potential flow theory. The results show that intermediate lip-wall drafts and a certain range of angle spring stiffness can improve power extraction.

Experimental study on the motions of a dual chamber fl oating oscillating water column device

J. F. M. Gadelho et al.

Summary: This study experimentally investigated the hydrodynamics and motions of a novel dual chamber floating oscillating water column device, revealing that the device may move towards the incident wave in surge motion due to negative drift forces. The experimental results showed that the device can amplify the free surface elevations up to 2 times the incident wave height, providing valuable data for the validation of numerical models handling similar floating devices.
