  • Abstract
    Experimental results on a two-dimensional oscillating water column capture chamber show that the ideal chamber length to wavelength ratio value of 0.25 is not actually ideal. The results further show that the operational design of an oscillating water column prototype is best done for a swell condition. Finally, the capture chamber length must be small enough to prevent internal traveling waves.
