Effects of narrow gap wave resonance on a dual-floater WEC-breakwater hybrid system

, 2021
The effects of gap wave resonance on the performance of a dual-floater hybrid system consisting of an oscillating-buoy type wave energy converter (WEC) and a floating breakwater are important for the design of such a hybrid system.

Hybrid floating breakwater-WEC system: A review

Ocean Engineering, 2019
Ocean wave energy is attractive for its large reserves, exploitability and low emissions. Although many Wave Energy Converter (WEC) concepts have been proposed, high construction cost hinders the engineering application of WECs.

Design of a rubble mound breakwater under the combined effect of wave heights and water levels, under present and future climate conditions

Applied Ocean Research, 2021
s Design of coastal structures without considering dependence of environmental variables can lead to over- or under estimation of their cross-sectional dimensions, imposing significant economic costs on marine projects.

Wave attenuation properties of rubble mound breakwater in tandem with a floating dock against oblique regular waves

Waves in Random and Complex Media, 2021
This work examines the impact of oblique wave action on a combination of a rubble mound breakwater and a floating dock. The influence of the breakwater on safety of the floating dock is examined in various configurations.

Analytical modelling of solitary wave diffraction from a V-shaped breakwater

, 2021
This analytical study presents the solitary wave interaction with a bottom-mounted surface-piercing V-shaped breakwater. The breakwater is impermeable, thin, and rigidly fixed on the bottom.

Experimental modeling of wave load on a pile-supported wharf with pile breakwater

, 2020
A hybrid structure of pile-supported wharf connecting with pile breakwater is tested in a flume with a scale factor of 1:30. Based on generating regular and irregular waves and accurately reproducing bed profile by using pulverized coal, both wave, scour
