Experimental Study of the Performance of Floating Breakwaters with Heave Motion [PDF]
Civil Engineering Infrastructures Journal, 2014 Nowadays, the application of floating breakwaters in small or recreational harbors has found more popularity. These types of breakwaters are more flexible in terms of design, configuration and especially installation compared with fixed breakwaters.

Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 1968 The breakwater consists of a floating slab of breadth comparable to the length of the wave to be obstructed. Performance is improved by various arrangements of slots and mass-damping. The breakwater acts primarily by inhibiting the vertical component of orbital motion; there is a secondary action of energy dissipation by wave-breaking and eddy-making ...
