The hydrodynamic properties of a pair of long floating pontoon breakwaters of rectangular section are investigated theoretically. The structures are partially restrained by linear symmetric moorings fore and aft. The fluid motion is idealized as linearized, two-dimensional potential flow.

Review of recent research and developments on floating breakwaters
Ocean Engineering, 2018 Floating breakwaters are an effective solution for protecting fragile beaches from being washed away, coastlines from erosion, floating structures, marinas and ports from strong wave action.

Experimental study on configuration optimization of floating breakwaters
Ocean Engineering, 2016 In this paper, four types of floating breakwaters (FB) are proposed: cylindrical floating breakwater (CFB), porous floating breakwater (PFB), mesh cage floating breakwater type-I (MCFB-I) and mesh cage floating breakwater type-II (MCFB-II).

An experimental and numerical study of floating breakwaters
Coastal Engineering, 2018 Breakwaters are used to provide sheltered areas for loading and unloading of ships, and coastal protection. Often the breakwaters are bottom mounted such as rubble mound breakwaters.

An analytical model is developed to examine the response and efficiency of a rigid, hinged floating breakwater. The theoretical model is verified experimentally and is used to develop design curves which may be employed to estimate necessary physical breakwater characteristics to satisfy specified wave attenuation criteria.

Floating breakwaters are inventoried. The various types are separated into 4 general categories, which are Box, Pontoon, Mat, and Tethered Float. The Tethered Float was identified as a special category but lacked sufficient prototype experience for detailed analysis. Advantages and disadvantages of the Box, Pontoon and Mat are presented.

Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal, and Ocean Engineering, 1991
This study investigated the behavior of a flexible, floating breakwater consisting of a moored, compliant, beam-like structure anchored to the seabed and possessing a small buoyancy chamber at the tip. The fluid domain is treated utilizing the boundary integral equation method, modifications have been made to the basic formulation to account for the ...

Submerged Floating Breakwaters
Journal of Offshore Mechanics and Arctic Engineering, 1991In this paper we show how a submerged body can, if properly tuned to the incoming waves, reflect an appreciable amount of the incident wave energy by creating waves through its own motion which effectively cancel the incident waves passing over it. A general theory for this phenomenon is described which is applied to the cases of a hinged vertical ...

This paper presents the Tethered Float Breakwater (TFB) which was developed as part of the Navy's Container Offloading and Transfer System (COTS). COTS provides fleet logistic support for sustained operations that include at-sea cargo transfer in unprotected areas having sea-states up through 4. With the TFB, a portable wave attenuation system, the sea-
