Oscillating water column (OWC) is one of the mechanisms for extracting wave energy from ocean waves. In this study, we experimentally investigated the hydrodynamic performance of a pile-supported OWC structure as a breakwater, for which the air-flow through a small opening in the top cover contribut...
