Hydrodynamic analysis of an integrated Π-breakwater and U-OWC device with projecting walls
D. Karmakar
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, radiation susceptance and conductance coefficients, reflection, transmission and dissipation coeffic
