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,

A critical analysis and validation of the accuracy of wave overtopping prediction formulae for OWECs [PDF]
, 2018 The development of wave energy devices is growing in recent years. One type of device is the overtopping wave energy converter (OWEC), for which the knowledge of the wave overtopping rates is a basic and crucial aspect in their design. In particular, the

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 ...

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

Floating Breakwater Performance
Coastal Engineering 1976, 1976 The Pacific Northwestern United States contains large areas of protected waters with abundant recreational boating opportunities. The area also supports many commercial fishermen who use small boats in their fishing operations . As a result, there is a large demand for sheltered moorage for all these vessels.

Numerical Modeling of the Effect of Porosity on Mooring Tensions in a Porous Double-slope Floating Breakwater [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesA floating breakwater is a structure used to solve existing problems due to activities around the coast. Floating breakwaters are becoming a more attractive alternative because of their mobility, costeffectiveness in deep coastal waters, and reduced ...

Optimal control of the heave motion of marine cable subsea-unit systems [PDF]
, 1995 One of the key problems associated with subsea operations involving tethered subsea units is the motions of support vessels on the ocean surface which can be transmitted to the subsea unit through the cable and increase the tension.
