Numerical Investigation on Hydrodynamic Performance of an OWC Wave Energy Device in the Stepped Bottom

The efficiency response of an oscillating water column (OWC) wave energy converter is analyzed by adopting a numerical approach and using various stepped bottom configurations for the seabed. A two-dimensional, fully non-linear higher-order boundary element method (HOBEM) model is developed to simul...
