The influence of opening the air-chamber on the occurrence of parametric resonance on an OWC spar buoy WEC

  • 1. Budapest University of Technology and Economics

Description

This dataset is obtained from experiments of a 1:100 scale model oscillating water column (OWC)  spar buoy wave energy converter performed in a wave flume. The purpose of the experiments was to compares the parametric resonance behaviour of two configurations of an OWC spar-buoy; (1) closed and (2) fully open-air chamber. The experimental tests covered a wide range of regular and irregular waves, as well as in free decay experiments. Detailed informatiion can be found in the ReadMe file.
