Formula to Predict Transmission for π-Type Floating Breakwaters [PDF]
Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal, and Ocean Engineering, 2013 AbstractThe aim of this paper is to define a simple and useful formula to predict wave transmission for a common type of floating breakwater (FB), supplied with two lateral vertical plates protruding downward, named π-type FB. Eight different models, with mass varying from 16 to 76 kg, anchored with chains, have been tested in the wave flume of the ...

Floating breakwater performance
, 1984 Floating breakwaters provide an alternative form of wave barrier to conventional rubble mound and caisson breakwaters in low to moderate wave climates with relatively short wave periods. This report reviews the literature on floating breakwaters and discusses existing and potential uses of floating breakwaters in Australia.

Narrative Horizons: Deliberate Derangement in Oceanic Climate Fiction
Future Humanities, Volume 4, Issue 1, May 2026.ABSTRACT Although we live in the Anthropocene—the geological age of humankind, wherein humans have measurably impacted the biosphere—we struggle to narrate the Anthropocene. In particular, we struggle to give narrative shape to its foremost feature: anthropogenic climate change.
