Simulating the Coastal Protection Performance of Breakwaters in the Mekong Delta: Insights from the Western Coast of Ca Mau Province, Vietnam

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
The Vietnamese Mekong Delta (VMD) is experiencing accelerated coastal erosion, driven by upstream sediment trapping, sea-level rise, and local anthropogenic pressures.

Numerical Analysis of Wave Transmission behind Floating Breakwaters [PDF]

, 2013
Floating breakwaters (FBs) have been widely used as an alternative solution to protect coastal sites especially small harbors and certain areas which are not suitable for rubble mound breakwaters.

Assessment of Breakwater as a Protection System against Aerodynamic Loads Acting on the Floating PV System

Energies
Offshore floating photovoltaic (FPV) systems are subjected to significant aerodynamic forces, especially during extreme wind conditions. Accurate estimation of these forces is crucial for the proper design of mooring lines and connection systems. In this

Floating breakwaters: State of the art, literature review

, 1981
A multitude of conceptual models of floating breakwaters have been proposed without extensive or complete evaluation of most of these concepts. The technical literature regarding floating breakwater applicability and design procedures is fragmentary and ...

Determination of Submerged Breakwater Efficiency Using Computational Fluid Dynamics

Oceans
Wind-induced waves can lead to the partial or complete wash-over of beaches, causing erosion that impacts both the landscape and tourist infrastructure. In some regions of the world, e.g., Croatia, this process, which usually occurs during a harsh winter,

Experimental investigation of pile-supported/floating breakwaters integrated with oscillating-water-column converters

, 2013
Nowadays, more than half of the world population live in coastal regions, and coastal areas are vital with many economic benefits. Breakwaters are commonly used to protect harbors and coasts from wave attack.

Dynamic Characteristics of Floating Breakwaters [Elektronisk resurs]

, 1996
The dynamic behaviour of interconnected floating breakwaters has been studied theoretically and experimentally. For this type of shore-protection system, problems that must be dealt with include wave loads on the breakwaters caused by the interaction ...
