Energies, 2020 The present paper deals with the theoretical evaluation of the efficiency of an array of cylindrical Wave Energy Converters (WECs) having a vertical symmetry axis and placed in front of a reflecting vertical breakwater. Linear potential theory is assumed,

Documentation of nearshore interactive wave - current - topography change models [PDF]
, 1992 This report is to document the programs my colleague and I developed for computing time-dependent nearshore hydrographic changes including beach profile responses. The time scale of the model is suitable for storm events to seasonal changes, currently

Sea‐Level Rise Adaptation and Collaboration in Polycentric Governance: A Comparison of Three Regions
Public Administration Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Adaptation to sea‐level rise confronts coastal communities worldwide with a new set of collective action problems that require collaboration. When does collaboration result in concrete action for adaptation? To address this question, we combine the Ecology of Games and Collaborative Governance frameworks using a comparative analysis of three ...

Wave - Structure Interactions: A Literature Review
Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2022 The purpose of the work is revolved around presenting a literature review applied to wave-structure interactions. During this literature review, three types of breakwaters are presented: Bottom submerged breakwater, submerged plate, and seawalls ...

Analysis of Permeable Breakwaters
Coastal Engineering 1986, 1986 This paper discusses the characteristics of hydraulic and water exchange due to the wave action against vertical slit-type breakwaters. The theoretical solution of the reflection and the transmission coefficients for the breakwater models is compared with the experimental results.

Coastal Engineering 1986, 1986 The refraction of water waves around the heads of breakwaters can lead to large wave heights along the sheltered side of the structure. These waves are shown to be edge waves, trapped on the breakwater, based on the comparison of laboratory data and linear edge wave theory.

Opportunities for targeted, small‐scale law reform in marine and coastal restoration
Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Across the globe, law reform is being considered as a mechanism to support, guide, and encourage the upscaling of ecological restoration. While high‐profile examples like the European Nature Restoration Law show the value of large‐scale law reform, this scale of law reform will not be feasible or politically tractable everywhere.

Feasibility of restoring native oyster reefs in highly modified urban estuaries
Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Urbanized estuaries are highly altered systems characterized by modified shorelines, degraded marine habitats, and abundant non‐native species. In South Australia's largest urbanized estuary, community‐based restoration initiatives aim to restore native flat oyster reefs (Ostrea angasi) lost over a century ago.
