In this work, an Oscillating Water Column (OWC) device is considered placed in front of a V-shaped vertical breakwater. The idea conceived, is based on the amplified wave power absorption due to the wave interactions originated from the presence of the breakwater. A theoretical analysis is presented in the realm of linear potential theory, based on the solution of proper diffraction, and radiation problems in the frequency domain, using the eigenfunction expansion method, the method of images and the multiple scattering approach. Optimum absorption efficiency is examined taking into consideration the characteristics of the Power Take Off (PTO) system and the air compressibility. Numerical results are presented and discussed in terms of the expected power absorption. The effect of the distance between the OWC and the vertical walls, the breakwater's forming angle, and the wave heading angle, is examined to demonstrate the enhanced absorption ability of the device. It is concluded that the device's efficiency is strongly dependent on the position of the OWC in front of the walls, as well as the angle of the wave impact, and should be taken into account when determining the optimum device parameters for maximization of its performance.
