For the dataset "A novel hybrid wind-wave energy converter for jacket-frame substructures"
available at: [link to be included here]

This dataset is related to the publication:
[reference to be included here]

This file explains the content of the zip-folder "180309_dataset_MDPI_Energies.zip"

The following files refer to section 3.3 of the paper, being:

	B_exh the non dimenasional damping coeficient for the exhalation
	B_inh the non dimenasional damping coeficient for the inhalation
	B_mean the mean non dimenasional damping coeficient for the exhalation and inhalation
	
	These coeficients are determined following: Pereiras B, López I, Castro F, Iglesias G. Non-dimensional analysis for matching an impulse turbine to an OWC (oscillating water column) with an optimum energy transfer. Energy. 2015;87:481-9. doi:  http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.energy.2015.05.018.
