Numerical Modeling of the Effect of Porosity on Mooring Tensions in a Porous Double-slope Floating Breakwater [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesA floating breakwater is a structure used to solve existing problems due to activities around the coast. Floating breakwaters are becoming a more attractive alternative because of their mobility, costeffectiveness in deep coastal waters, and reduced ...

Coastal Engineering 1968, 1968 The general objective of this investigation is to determine the wave damping characteristics of model floating breakwaters designed to reduce incident wave heights by processes of wave reflection, wave interference, forced instability of incident waves and turbulence action.

FLOATING BREAKWATER FOR RESERVOIR MARINAS
Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 1970 The concept of multiple use of reservoirs is resulting in the construction of marinas for recreational boating requiring breakwaters that can function for a large range of water levels A typical set of design criteria is an average water depth of 20 to 25 feet, wave lengths from S to 60 feet (wave periods of from 1 to 4 seconds) and wave heights from J

Advances in Civil Engineering, 2020 Although breakwaters are of great importance to damp the wave energy and protect floating vessels/facilities, they are not fully successful in reducing the waves’ height.

On the Floating Breakwater – a New Arrangement
Coastal Engineering 1986, 1986 A new type of floating breakwater composed of net-tubes and buoy-balls is presented in this paper. A series of model studies have been carried out for several arrangements of this structure. As wave damping effect is concerned, a case that the structure being set vertically is shown to be better than the one being set horizontally, while more than two ...

Estimating Wave Reduction by Floating-Wetland Breakwaters Using Small-Scale Physical Models [PDF]
, 2020 Wind-induced waves can cause significant erosion on lake shorelines. One solution to this problem is to absorb the waves before they reach the shoreline. Floating breakwaters have been used to reduce waves, but provide limited ecological benefit.

Wave dissipation performance of breakwater [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesThis paper conducts a comprehensive review of the wave dissipation performance of various types of breakwaters in marine engineering. Over time, breakwaters have undergone significant evolution, and modern ones are constructed using advanced materials to

FLEXIBLE POROUS FLOATING BREAKWATERS
Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 1968 Observation of the effect of towed rafts of pulpwood on lake and ocean waves led to a systematic investigation at model scale. An empirical equation compatible with wave theory was devised and lines representing this equation together with points representing experimental results are shown for different conditions.

Floating Breakwater Performance Comparison [PDF]
Coastal Engineering 1980, 1980 Wave-transmission and mooring-force data of the Tethered-Float Breakwater and Pole-Tire Breakwater (PT-Breakwater) were compared, and the basic costs (without mooring system) of two equivalent breakwaters determined. It was found that, for short-fetch applications, the PT-Breakwater was an order of magnitude less costly than the Tethered-Float ...

A Model Coupling CFD and DRL: Investigation on Wave Dissipation by Actively Controlled Flat Plate
IEEE Access, 2022 In order to protect structures along the offshore and off the coast, breakwaters are commonly applied to reduce the influence of waves. Flat plate breakwater is studied frequently due to its great performance near the water surface, however, traditional ...
