Abstract : The hydrodynamics of the oscillating water column device placed over the sloping seabed under the influence of irregular incident waves is studied. Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations (RANS) with a modified k − w turbulence model was used and the air-water interface was tracked using a volume-of-fluid (VOF) approach. The results demonstrate that the amplitude of the inward and outward velocities via the orifice, free surface elevations, and flow characteristics are greater for higher significant wave heights.
