- Additional information
- This study provided the first comprehensive experimental studies of the influence of wave nonlinearity, orifice scale, turbine damping and bottom slope on the performance of the land-based oscillating water column (OWC) and water motion in the air chamber. Results have been used widely as the benchmark test for OWC models. It laid the foundation for a PhD at Dalian Technology University (DTU), China. It led to collaborations between ERPE and DTU, an NSFC-EPSRC-NERC grant (2017-2021, £812k, EP/R007519/1), a Royal Academy of Engineering UK-China Industry Academia Partnership Programme grant (2017-2019, UK-CIAPP\73), and a National Science Foundation of China grant (2017-2020, 51679036).
