🌊 Oscillating Water Column: Wave Energy and the Air Turbine (2D cross-section)

2D cross-section of an oscillating-water-column wave-energy converter. Set wave amplitude and period, vent size, chamber volume, turbine efficiency and damping, and watch the water column heave, the chamber pressure swing, the air rush through the vent and the turbine power, plus the power against wave period curve. Same RK4 model file as the 3D page, with five in-page numerical checks.
