Abstract
Responses of the very large floating Structures (VLFS) can be mitigated by implementing oscillating water columns (OWCs). This paper explores the fundamental mechanism of present wave interactions with both structures and examines the hydrodynamic performance of VLFS equipped with OWCs (VLFS-OWCs). Under the linear potential flow theory framework, the semi-analytical model of wave interaction with VLFS-OWCs is developed using the eigenfunction matching method. The semi-analytical model is verified using the Haskind relationship and wave energy conservation law. Results show that the system with dual-chamber OWCs has a wider frequency bandwidth in wave power extraction and hydroelastic response mitigation of VLFS. It is worth noting that the presence of Bragg resonance can be trigged due to wave interaction with the chamber walls and the VLFS, which is not beneficial for the wave power extraction performance and the protection of VLFS.
