Coastal Engineering 1968, 1968 The general objective of this investigation is to determine the wave damping characteristics of model floating breakwaters designed to reduce incident wave heights by processes of wave reflection, wave interference, forced instability of incident waves and turbulence action.

FLOATING BREAKWATER FOR RESERVOIR MARINAS
Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 1970 The concept of multiple use of reservoirs is resulting in the construction of marinas for recreational boating requiring breakwaters that can function for a large range of water levels A typical set of design criteria is an average water depth of 20 to 25 feet, wave lengths from S to 60 feet (wave periods of from 1 to 4 seconds) and wave heights from J

Transmission of Water Waves under Multiple Vertical Thin Plates [PDF]
, 2018 The transmission of water waves under vertical thin plates, e.g., offshore floating breakwaters, oscillating water column wave energy converters, and so on, is a crucial feature that dominates the hydrodynamic performance of marine devices. In this paper,

Bottom changes in coastal areas with complex shorelines [PDF]
, 2017 A model for the sea-bottom change simulations in coastal areas with complex shorelines is proposed. In deep and intermediate water depths, the hydrodynamic quantities are calculated by numerically integrating the contravariant Boussinesq equations ...

On the Floating Breakwater – a New Arrangement
Coastal Engineering 1986, 1986 A new type of floating breakwater composed of net-tubes and buoy-balls is presented in this paper. A series of model studies have been carried out for several arrangements of this structure. As wave damping effect is concerned, a case that the structure being set vertically is shown to be better than the one being set horizontally, while more than two ...

Port of Ferrol enlargement works, Spain [PDF]
, 2010 The Port of Ferrol is in the autonomous region of Galicia, in the north-west of the Iberian peninsula, in the ria of the same name. The port has traditionally specialised in bulk goods, mainly coal, scrap and petroleum products. An increase in traffic in

Numerical simulation of fixed/floating structure through-type turbulence flow field
Zhongguo Jianchuan Yanjiu, 2022 ObjectivesIn order to reveal the mechanism of perforated fixed and floating structure through-type flow fields in local high turbulence, breaking waves and fluid separation, three types of typical active/passive perforated structures (gushing floating ...
