Oscillating-water-column (OWC) wave energy converters (WECs) have attracted worldwide attention because of their simple structures and easy maintenance. However, they still face the issues of low energy conversion efficiency and narrow effective frequency bandwidth. A numerical simulation of the hydrodynamic performance of an offshore stationary dual-OWC array was conducted. Based on the potential flow theory, a nonlinear aerodynamic model considering air-liquid coupling was constructed by introducing aerodynamic and artificial damping on the first and second-order free surface boundaries of the OWC chamber. A set of physical experiments were carried out to validate the numerical model, and a good agreement between the experimental and numerical results was achieved. The results show that the chamber resonant frequency shifts due to the multiple diffraction waves between component devices. Appropriate array arrangement helps to improve the relative capture width and effective frequency bandwidth of the OWC wave energy devices, with a maximum increase of 61.7% and 24.5%, respectively.
