Hydrodynamics of an Oscillating Water Column Wave Energy Converter Integrated with Breakwaters

Date: 20.11.2020; UTC Time: 9:00 AM- 10:00 AM

The presentation will discuss the evaluation of the hydrodynamic performance and design wave loads on an OWC device while integrated into a breakwater to serve as coastal protection measure. The Hydrodynamic performance – Structural optimization, Design wave loads – Pressures and forces measured through a comprehensive experimental program in a shallow wave basin in Dept of Ocean Engineering, IIT Madras will be presented and discussed..
