Abstract
The hydrodynamic performance of an integrated oscillating water column (OWC) combined with a cylindrical caisson type breakwater was investigated. A three-dimensional numerical wave tank was established to simulate the overall energy conversion performance and hydrodynamics of the integrated system with the software StarCCM+. The developed Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model was initially verified with the published physical results and numerical results derived from an analytical solution. The effects of the structural geometry and the pneumatic damping of the PTO system on the wave absorption and power conversion efficiency of the proposed device were investigated using this developed model. Based on this proposed numerical model, the velocity of the air flow, the corresponding air pressure characteristics in the air turbine nozzle and chamber zone were discussed. The results indicate that this proposed half-open land based OWC is adapted to absorb shorter nearshore waves, characterized by dimensionless wave number kd approaching 1.49. Furthermore, a larger opening inlet zone for this proposed OWC would shift the resonant corresponding kd to higher wave frequencies, while lowering the opening inlet could help to increase the power extraction efficiency for long waves. The peak hydrodynamic efficiency is observed at a ratio of OWC inlet width to diameter B/D of 0.97, which is approximately six times larger than that at B/D = 0.5. The inclusion of an impulse turbine yields a more uniform pressure distribution within the central chamber and effectively mitigates wave reflection for smaller incident waves, with maximum efficiency achieved using 37 blades. The property of the efficiency mitigation with insufficient certain intake depth of the wave chamber should be avoided for system design.

- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
