Advantages of an innovative vertical breakwater with an overtopping wave energy converter

, 2020
This paper presents an innovative vertical breakwater cross-section integrating an overtopping wave energy converter, named OBREC-V, and the analysis of its hydraulic performance and stability response to hydraulic loading. The structure is composed of a

Wave interaction with a submerged floating tunnel in the presence of a bottom mounted submerged porous breakwater

, 2020
A coupled model of wave interaction with a submerged floating sea-tunnel in the presence of a bottom mounted submerged porous breakwater is proposed to study the role of porous breakwater in mitigating wave effects on tunnel.

Evaluation of the annual electricity production of a hybrid breakwater-integrated wave energy converter

, 2020
Ocean waves constitute an abundant source of clean and predictable energy, with the potential to partly replace carbon intensive energy sources. At present, several technologies to convert wave energy into electricity are being developed, but those ...

Low Crested Breakwaters

2009
The chapter describes typical features of low crested breakwaters, their hydraulic stability, effects on waves, induced circulation, erosion and problems related to construction and maintenance, providing basic tools for design.

Pneumatic and similar breakwaters

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A. Mathematical and Physical Sciences, 1955
Abstract The process of calming waves by injecting air bubbles beneath the surface has been known to civil engineers for nearly 50 years. It has been little used for its results have been erratic, its method of working was unknown and its effect could not be predicted.

Converting emergent breakwaters into submerged breakwaters

2011
Emergent rubble-mound breakwaters have been one of the main sea-defense structures used in Italy and the EU. Their functionality is related to the dissipation of the incident wave energy so that the transmitted component is within acceptable limits for the safety/stability of a coastal site. However, they can pose some environmental issues e.g.
