A numerical and experimental study on the hydrodynamics of a floating breakwater [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
The hydrodynamic behavior of fixed and elastically moored floating breakwaters is studied in the present thesis, using a finite-difference, mathematical model based on the Boussinesq type equations.

Experimental study on hydrodynamic characteristics of a taut moored floating box

open access: yesFrontiers in Mechanical Engineering
To investigate the hydrodynamic capabilities of the floating breakwater with a taut mooring system, a two-dimensional physical modelling experiment was performed to investigate the hydrodynamic characteristics of the hydrodynamic pressure on the front ...

Parametric Comparison of Rectangular and Circular Pontoons Performance as Floating Breakwater Numerically

open access: yesPolish Maritime Research, 2018
Rectangular and circular pontoons are one of the most widely cross-sections used as floating breakwaters (FB). Although, there are several articles on comparison of behavior of rectangular and circular floating breakwaters however, the Authors try to ...

Numerical investigation of floating breakwater movement using SPH method

open access: yesInternational Journal of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering, 2011
In this work, the movement pattern of a floating breakwater is numerically analyzed using Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamic (SPH) method as a Lagrangian scheme. At the seaside, the regular incident waves with varying height and period were considered as the

Assessment of Breakwater as a Protection System against Aerodynamic Loads Acting on the Floating PV System

open access: yesEnergies
Offshore floating photovoltaic (FPV) systems are subjected to significant aerodynamic forces, especially during extreme wind conditions. Accurate estimation of these forces is crucial for the proper design of mooring lines and connection systems. In this

Peak mooring forces in the horizontal interlaced multi-layered moored floating pipe breakwater

open access: yesInternational Journal of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering, 2011
Present study aims to investigate the influence of relative breakwater width W/L (W=width of breakwater, L=wavelength), wave steepness Hi/gT2 (Hi=incident wave height, T=wave period) and relative wave height d/W (d=water depth) on forces in the moorings ...
