The distinct engineering advantages of Oscillating Water Column (OWC) systems have driven substantial academic interest lately. This work examines the onshore U-shaped OWC (U-OWC), selected for its cost-effective installation integrated with existing coastal infrastructure and its superior broadband response to diverse wave climates. Time-domain CFD simulations, incorporating the scaling-rematched approach, were conducted to q...

Bacterivores play a key role in transferring energy through microbial food webs and are broadly classified as heterotrophic or mixotrophic based on the presence of inherent chloroplasts. Mixotrophs, especially in low-latitude regions, have recently gained attention due to their dual roles as primary producers and bacterial grazers, which enable them to thrive in nutrient-poor, stratified waters where traditional autotrophs or...
