The effect of different types of projecting walls attached to a pile-restrained U-shaped Oscillating Water Column (U-OWC) integrated with Π-breakwater on its hydrodynamic performance is analysed using Boundary Element Method (BEM). Three different types of projecting walls, such as (i) straight, (ii) inclined, and (iii) curved projecting walls are investigated. The theoretical maximum efficiency,…
In its first year of operation, the Intelligent Towing Tank (ITT) conducted about 100,000 total experiments, essentially completing the equivalent of a PhD student’s five years’ worth of experiments in a matter of weeks. The automated experimental facility, developed in the MIT Sea Grant Hydrodynamics Laboratory, automatically and adaptively performs, analyzes, and designs experiments exploring […
