Experimental study of a new type of floating breakwater [PDF]

open access: yesOcean Engineering, 2015
A new type of floating breakwater (FB) is proposed in this paper. Its hydrodynamic performance has been tested. The structure of the new breakwater named cylindrical floating breakwater (CFB) consists of two parts: a main body of rigid cylinders, and a ...

3D experimental study on a cylindrical floating breakwater system [PDF]

open access: yesOcean Engineering, 2016
The objective of the present study is to investigate the performance of a cylindrical floating breakwater system based on 3D experimental tests. The experiments were carried out in the wave basin (36 m*60 m*1.5 m)of the Ocean University of China.

Hinged Floating Breakwater

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.

Floating pontoon breakwaters

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.

Floating Breakwater Design

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.

Flexible Floating Breakwater

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 ...
