Abstract

In this paper, based on the linear potential flow theory and the eigenfunction expansion method, we developed a semi-analytical solution for the interaction with Oscillating water column (OWC) array subject to multidirectional wave actions. The hydrodynamic efficiency and reflection coefficient of OWC array under multidirectional waves are obtained and verified by using the law of wave energy flux conservation. The influence of the spectral parameters such as peak wave frequency, peak enhancement factor, mean wave direction and directional spreading parameters (ωp, γ, θ0 and s) is illustrated theoretically. And it is well noticed that the width of the OWCs unit affects the hydrodynamic performance with multi-directional waves as well.
