Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal, and Ocean Engineering, 1985
An analytical model is developed to examine the response and efficiency of a rigid, hinged floating breakwater. The theoretical model is verified experimentally and is used to develop design curves which may be employed to estimate necessary physical breakwater characteristics to satisfy specified wave attenuation criteria.

Ocean Engineering, 2000
The hydrodynamic properties of a pair of long floating pontoon breakwaters of rectangular section are investigated theoretically. The structures are partially restrained by linear symmetric moorings fore and aft. The fluid motion is idealized as linearized, two-dimensional potential flow.

Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal, and Ocean Engineering, 1985
Floating breakwaters are inventoried. The various types are separated into 4 general categories, which are Box, Pontoon, Mat, and Tethered Float. The Tethered Float was identified as a special category but lacked sufficient prototype experience for detailed analysis. Advantages and disadvantages of the Box, Pontoon and Mat are presented.

Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal, and Ocean Engineering, 1991
This study investigated the behavior of a flexible, floating breakwater consisting of a moored, compliant, beam-like structure anchored to the seabed and possessing a small buoyancy chamber at the tip. The fluid domain is treated utilizing the boundary integral equation method, modifications have been made to the basic formulation to account for the ...

Submerged Floating Breakwaters
Journal of Offshore Mechanics and Arctic Engineering, 1991In this paper we show how a submerged body can, if properly tuned to the incoming waves, reflect an appreciable amount of the incident wave energy by creating waves through its own motion which effectively cancel the incident waves passing over it. A general theory for this phenomenon is described which is applied to the cases of a hinged vertical ...

OCEANS '79, 1979
This paper presents the Tethered Float Breakwater (TFB) which was developed as part of the Navy's Container Offloading and Transfer System (COTS). COTS provides fleet logistic support for sustained operations that include at-sea cargo transfer in unprotected areas having sea-states up through 4. With the TFB, a portable wave attenuation system, the sea-

Development of the Ihi Floating Breakwater
Coastal Engineering in Japan, 1979ABSTRACTWith the advent of the era of 200-mile economic sea zones, the efficient utilization of coastal waters has increasingly been required. Accordingly, many various facilities for cultivating marine products as well as port and harbor facilities, which used to be installed usually in shallow water of a bay, are obliged to be hereafter installed ...

Port of Brownsville Floating Breakwater
Ports '01, 2001The technical aspects of a new floating breakwater concept installed at the Port of Brownsville Marina, located in Port Orchard Bay, Washington, are described in this paper. The breakwater incorporates submerged porous treated timber "wave fences" installed on either side of the concrete pontoons to reduce wave transmission.
