A linear, frequency-domain performance model that links the oscillating structure to air-pressure fluctuations with a Wells Turbine in 3-dimensions is used to study the device performance at a northern California deployment location. Both short-term, sea-state, and long-term, annual, predictions are made regarding the devices performance.application/pdfen-USIn CopyrightStochastic approachFloating oscillating water columnWave energy conversionRenewable energyConference proceedingBull, Diana
