A numerical model has been introduced to simulate wave interaction with oscillating water column (OWC) in two dimensional vertical plane. Two-dimensional Navier-stokes equations have been used. To track free surface, Volume of fluid method has been employed. Also a porous wall is situated at the beginning of the canal to absorb the reflected waves. It’s valuable to mention that the Poisson equation has been solved using an implicit non-iterative method. In order to calculate pressure and water elevation inside OWC, an iterative method has been used. After model verification, the interaction of wave and OWC has been simulated. The effect of different wave conditions and also the immersion depth of the OWC’s front wall have been investigated. The numerical results were consistent with available experimental results.
