Abstract
OWC devices can be installed close to shore to
facilitate energy transportation and maintenance or can be
installed further out in places with higher available wave energy.
In the latest large structure can be necessary for buoyancy and
survival issues but most of the previous theoretical studies did
not fully investigate the effect of wall thickness in the
hydrodynamic behaviour of the WEC. The current study
investigates the hydrodynamic properties of a fixed cylindrical
OWC device with finite wall thickness in an open-sea
environment. Specific attention is given in the effect of the
structural properties, radius, draught and wall-thickness on the
energetic behaviour of the OWC device.
