International Journal of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering, 2020 A numerical model is established to investigate the run-up of a solitary wave after propagating over a triangular saw-tooth-shaped submerged breakwater. A rectangular-shaped submerged breakwater is simulated for comparison. Several factors, including the

Coastal Engineering 1988, 1988 Two and three dimensional laboratory studies have been carried out on the stability of a berm breakwater concept. The study has to some extent been general and to some extent been connected to a project study of the stability of a berm breakwater for the fishing port of Arviksand, Norway.

Bottom changes in coastal areas with complex shorelines [PDF]
, 2017 A model for the sea-bottom change simulations in coastal areas with complex shorelines is proposed. In deep and intermediate water depths, the hydrodynamic quantities are calculated by numerically integrating the contravariant Boussinesq equations ...

The effect of waves on rubble-mound structures [PDF]
, 1975 For thousands of years breakwaters have been built at or near the coast to protect harbors or coastlines from wave attack. One of the earliest known harbor protection schemes was devised in about 2000 B.C.

Time-domain hydrodynamic analysis of pontoon-plate floating breakwater
Water Science and Engineering, 2012 The hydrodynamic behaviors of a floating breakwater consisting of a rectangular pontoon and horizontal plates are studied theoretically. The fluid motion is idealized as two-dimensional linear potential flow.

Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 1968 The breakwater consists of a floating slab of breadth comparable to the length of the wave to be obstructed. Performance is improved by various arrangements of slots and mass-damping. The breakwater acts primarily by inhibiting the vertical component of orbital motion; there is a secondary action of energy dissipation by wave-breaking and eddy-making ...

Submerged dunes and breakwater embayments mapped using wave inversions of shore-mounted marine X-Band radar data [PDF]
, 2010 Surveying very shallow coastal areas, particularly around coastal defences, can be a logistically difficult and time consuming process. A marine-radar based bathymetry mapping technique has been used to remotely map the embayments around a series of ...

Coastal Engineering 1968, 1968 The general objective of this investigation is to determine the wave damping characteristics of model floating breakwaters designed to reduce incident wave heights by processes of wave reflection, wave interference, forced instability of incident waves and turbulence action.
