Summary:Abstract The performance of an OWC device placed over multi-stepped bottom is analyzed in random incident waves environment. To model the irregular local wave climate, the Pierson-Moskowitz spectrum along with two different sea states are considered. The effect of chamber width, lip-wall thickness and draft, and turbine damping coefficient of the OWC device on the performance and efficiency are discussed in a detailed manner. It is observed that the OWC device parameters and the local wave climate play a crucial role on the performance and efficiency of the OWC device.
