Geometric Analysis through the Constructal Design of a Sea Wave Energy Converter with Several Coupled Hydropneumatic Chambers Considering the Oscillating Water Column Operating Principle

The work presents a numerical study of a wave energy converter (WEC) device based on the oscillating water column (OWC) operating principle with a variation of one to five coupled chambers. The main objective is to evaluate the influence of the geometry and the number of coupled chambers to maximize...
