Effects of orifice size on the efficiency of a heaving oscillating water column

Oscillating water columns (OWCs) have been studied extensively as promising wave energy converters. Different factors can affect the pneumatic power of OWCs, such as model scaling, turbine damping, and air compressibility. In this study, the heave motion of the OWC was limited by adding friction, an...
