Optimization on fishing net porosity of twin pontoon floating breakwater in waves
Journal of Mechanical Engineering and Sciences, 2022 Chaotic process in wave passing through pores on the attached fishing net between twin pontoons of floating breakwater (TPFB) may lead to several severe problems relating to the hydrodynamic performance of such coastal structure.

Wave Transmission Characteristics of the Rapidly Installed Modular Floating Breakwaters [PDF]
, 2016 Many military and naval operations have required some kind of wave attenuating system that can be installed rapidly for the operations to be carried out smoothly and be uninstalled when the operations have finished.

That sinkin’ feeling: Environmentally induced distress on a disappearing island
Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract Residents of Tangier Island, Virginia, a subsiding island in the Chesapeake Bay, embody psychosocial dimensions of environmental change. Analysis of ethnographic data shows islanders’ experiences and articulations of anxiety, panic, and despair as “that sinkin’ feeling,” resulting from the stress of living with the long‐term threat of imminent

Finite element simulation of long wave impact on floating breakwaters with variable stiffness [PDF]
, 2017 The hydroelastic response of flexible, floating breakwaters is a subject of interest for coastal engineering applications. In this study, a higher order hydroelastic finite element is applied to the simulation of floating breakwaters of variable ...

Sea‐Level Rise Adaptation and Collaboration in Polycentric Governance: A Comparison of Three Regions
Public Administration Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Adaptation to sea‐level rise confronts coastal communities worldwide with a new set of collective action problems that require collaboration. When does collaboration result in concrete action for adaptation? To address this question, we combine the Ecology of Games and Collaborative Governance frameworks using a comparative analysis of three ...

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.Abstract Winter storms present a major erosional hazard to subaqueous deltas globally, but the associated dynamic mechanisms are still not well understood. Using high‐resolution in situ data collected over a 3‐week period in the abandoned Yellow River subaqueous delta, this study employs three‐dimensional quadrant analysis to examine turbulent ...

Performance of a New Floating Breakwater
IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2020 Abstract The need of floating breakwater is increased to protect harbour by wave storm. The study and development of some model have been done in the past decade. However, their model still not effective to protect harbour against wave period greater than 5.0 second. This study deals with performance of a new type floating breakwaters in

NON-LINEAR WAVE FORCES ON FLOATING BREAKWATERS [PDF]
Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 1982 A non-linear numerical method for calculating wave forces on floating bodies has been developed by Isaacson (1981). The time stepping procedure is programmed for a computer solution, and an incident wave train is time stepped past a fixed two-dimensional rectangular breakwater.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.Marine species often have large effective population sizes and high connectivity that reduce drift and preserve diversity, but how these features shape adaptation to anthropogenic change remains unclear; Oulastrea crispata, a stress‐tolerant Indo‐Pacific coral, is an ideal test case along a strong eutrophication gradient. Using RADseq on 90 individuals
