Peak mooring forces in the horizontal interlaced multi-layered moored floating pipe breakwater [PDF]

International Journal of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering, 2011
Present study aims to investigate the influence of relative breakwater width W/L (W=width of breakwater, L=wavelength), wave steepness Hi/gT2 (Hi=incident wave height, T=wave period) and relative wave height d/W (d=water depth) on forces in the moorings ...
