CFD/DEM coupled approach for the stability of caisson-type breakwater subjected to violent wave impact

open access: yes, 2021
Wave impacts on vertical caissons may cause breakwaters failures. This paper focuses on the analysis of the stability of breakwaters under violent wave impacts by using a triple-coupled Fluid-Porous-Solid model. The fluid model is described by the Volume-

PERIODIZING GEOLOGICALLY OUTWITH (AND WITHOUT?) THE ANTHROPOCENE: PASTS, AGENCIES, AND THE TERRESTRIAL

open access: yesHistory and Theory, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As a periodization that is generally understood to refer to an era of Terrestrial relationships that developed with modernization and nuclearization, the Anthropocene cannot be applied simply to premodern histories and texts. However, it has introduced historians to geological periodization as a mode of describing periods of changed ...

Profile analyses in front of the breakwater in Ensenada, B.C.

open access: yesCiencias Marinas, 1995
Four bathymetric surveys were conducted in front of the breakwater in Ensenada, B.C., during 1990 and 1991. Five profiles were projected perpendicular to the structure for each survey.

Performance Assessment of a Hybrid Wave Energy Converter Integrated into a Harbor Breakwater

open access: yesEnergies, 2020
Seaports are highly energy demanding infrastructures and are exposed to wave energy, which is an abundant resource and largely unexploited. As a result, there has been a rising interest in integrating wave energy converters (WEC) into the breakwaters of ...

Divergent exploratory‐avoidant behavioural strategies may drive niche differentiation in juvenile Antarctic fishes

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract We used an ecological niche theory framework integrating physiological and behavioural ecology to understand interspecific differentiation of juveniles of four Antarctic fishes: Trematomus bernacchii, Trematomus pennellii, Trematomus nicolai and Pagothenia borchgrevinki.

Coherence of pulsating and breaking wave forces on a vertical wall breakwater [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The aim of this note is to develop a method for describing the horizontal wave force applied to vertical breakwaters by breakers, accounting for the longitudinal extension of the caissons.

Numerical Model Applicability Based on a Hydraulic Characteristic Analysis of an Eco-friendly Double-row Submerged Breakwater

open access: yes한국해양공학회지
In this study, a submerged breakwater with effective wave control and eco-friendly characteristics is developed and proposed. Hydraulic experiments are conducted to compare the hydraulic performance of a submerged breakwater and an eco-friendly double ...

Computational fluid dynamics analysis of cylindrical floating breakwater towards reduction of sediment transport

open access: yesJournal of Mechanical Engineering and Sciences, 2017
Floating breakwater becomes an alternative and reliable coastal area protection as it is cheaper in production cost as compared to conventional bottom-fixed breakwater.

Analysis of Permeable Breakwaters

open access: yesCoastal 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.
