Floating Membrane Breakwater

Journal of Offshore Mechanics and Arctic Engineering, 1996
Abstract The hydrodynamic properties of a flexible floating breakwater consisting of a membrane structure attached to a small float restrained by moorings are investigated theoretically. The tension in the membrane is achieved by hanging a clump weight from its lower end.

Floating Breakwaters-A Wave Tank Study

Journal of Petroleum Technology, 1973
There is a need in the offshore industry for a means of protecting certain operations and for reducing time lost because of weather. A floating breakwater may be the answer in many cases. A laboratory study is presented that establishes the most important parameters affecting a breakwater's performance. Introduction

Performance of Cage Floating Breakwater

Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal, and Ocean Engineering, 1997
Conventional floating breakwaters are examined and the feasibility of developing a cage floating breakwater is explored. Earlier studies on floating breakwaters reveal that, to achieve a transmission coefficient (\iK\i\dt) less than 0.5, the breakwater width to wave length ratio (\IW/L\N) should necessarily be greater than 0.4 for most of the ...

Damping Effect of Floating Breakwater

Journal of the Waterways and Harbors Division, 1969
The results of experimental studies are presented concerning the mechanism of attenuation of waves and the damping effect of the floating breakwater to which the system of phase difference is applied is shown. As the floating body rolls responding to the incident wave and simultaneously is forced by mooring ropes, so the phase difference between motion

Operational Experience with Floating Breakwaters

Marine Technology and SNAME News, 1977
In the past few years floating breakwaters used for the protection of marina facilities have found increasing application. They provide a cost-effective solution at many potential sites and alleviate the environmental damage associated with more traditional breakwater construction.
