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 ...

Performance of Integrated Vertical Raft-type WEC and Floating Breakwater [PDF]
, 2022 Renewable energy such as wave energy has gained popularity as a means of reducing greenhouse gases. However, the high cost and lack of available sea space in some countries have hindered the deployment of wave energy converters (WEC) as alternative means

FLEXIBLE POROUS FLOATING BREAKWATERS
Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 1968 Observation of the effect of towed rafts of pulpwood on lake and ocean waves led to a systematic investigation at model scale. An empirical equation compatible with wave theory was devised and lines representing this equation together with points representing experimental results are shown for different conditions.

Floating Breakwater Performance Comparison [PDF]
Coastal Engineering 1980, 1980 Wave-transmission and mooring-force data of the Tethered-Float Breakwater and Pole-Tire Breakwater (PT-Breakwater) were compared, and the basic costs (without mooring system) of two equivalent breakwaters determined. It was found that, for short-fetch applications, the PT-Breakwater was an order of magnitude less costly than the Tethered-Float ...
