Abstract
This paper investigates the hydrodynamic properties and proximity effects of dual offshore intake wells installed in the vicinity. The physical model study is carried out with 1:20 scale models in a regular wave environment. The intake wells are placed at the separation distance (S) equal to the diameter of the intake well (D), and the interaction is studied by changing the orientation (θ). The wave run-up and rundown around the wells, free surface water oscillation at the inlet and pumping chambers, and diffraction wave heights are measured for each configuration. The influence of θ on these parameters is analyzed to get insight into the non-linear responses captured during the wave structure interaction.
