Seminar: Large Scale Wave Basin Tests on Slotted Breakwater Integrated with Oscillating Water Columns: Lessons Learned
Holmes Hall 243 2540 Dole Street, HonoluluMayah Walker PhD Student in Ocean and Resources Engineering *In-person (HOLM243) & via Zoom* Zoom Meeting Link Meeting ID: 890 6867 4318 Passcode: ORE The fixed oscillating water column (OWC) integrated with a slotted barrier is a dual functioning wave energy converter and breakwater. This design is to reduce initial investment cost of the wave energy converter by integrating the pre-cast design with existing coastal infrastructure and housing the power take off (PTO) device out of water. This design is to serve as a breakwater that does not impose local water quality stagnation while mitigating coastal erosion or providing harbor
Seminar: Party Wave: Coming Together for Hawai‘i’s Ocean Technology Ecosystem
