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 ...

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.

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

Numerical simulation of regular wave transmission coefficient over submerged breakwater
Shuili Shuiyun Gongcheng Xuebao, 2017 Wave transmission coefficient over a submerged breakwater is the main index to measure the wave weakened capacity of the submerged breakwater. A numerical wave flume is established by the MIKE21-BW model based on Boussinesq-type equations, and a ...

Improving the breakwater design process by using a design automation tool [PDF]
, 2020 In the current breakwater design process, not all feasible concepts can be explored due to time constraints. However, designers are also influenced by breakwaters constructed near, or at the same location as their breakwater project.
