TL;DR: In this paper, the hydrodynamic performance of an offshore-stationary Oscillating Water Column (OWC) device with an immersed horizontal bottom plate was investigated through both experimental tests and numerical simulations.

TL;DR: In this paper, an example of a symbiotic combination of marine structures is studied, where the base hydrodynamic performance of a traditional offshore oscillating water column (OWC) device is compared against the case in which it is constructed over a submerged breakwater.

TL;DR: In this article, a theoretical model based on the linear potential theory is presented for two heaving oscillating water column (OWC) devices separated by a gap, which includes relative motion and phase control between the devices and trapped water columns, and the hydrodynamic performance is evaluated.

TL;DR: In this article , a novel integrated system composed of an offshore heaving OWC device and a floating stationary breakwater with a certain length of gap between each other is proposed under the framework of potential flow theory, corresponding theoretical model is established and solved by decomposing the boundary-value problems into one wave scattering component and two radiation components.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the scattering of oblique incident water waves by two unequal surface-piercing thin vertical rigid plates with stepped bottom topography and found that the existence of the stepped bottom between two plates considerably impacts the hydrodynamic performances of the present system.
