2D Wave setup behind submerged breakwaters [PDF]

open access: possibleOcean Engineering, 2008
In addition to reducing the incoming wave energy, submerged breakwaters also cause a setup of the sea level in the protected area, which is relevant to the whole shadow zone circulation, including alongshore currents and seaward flows through the gaps.

A Dynamic Submerged Breakwater

Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal, and Ocean Engineering, 1996
An analytical solution is developed to investigate the behavior of a submerged or surface-piercing, long tethered breakwater of rectangular cross section. The equations of motion are solved to provide the surge, heave, and pitch responses of the structure. The wave reflection and transmission coefficients are calculated. Numerical results are presented

A STUDY OF SUBMERGED BREAKWATERS

Journal of Hydraulic Research, 1980
The results of an experimental investigation on the damping action of impermeable, submerged breakwaters of various shapes are presented and discussed. The effectiveness of the breakwater in damping the incident wave energy is measured in terms of coefficient of transmission.

Submerged Floating Breakwaters

Journal of Offshore Mechanics and Arctic Engineering, 1991
In 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 ...

A Submerged Compliant Breakwater

Journal of Offshore Mechanics and Arctic Engineering, 1992
A numerical technique is utilized to investigate the dynamics of a submerged compliant breakwater consisting of a flexible, beamlike structure anchored to the seabed and kept under tension by a small buoyancy chamber at the tip. The fluid motion is idealized as linearized, two-dimensional potential flow and the equation of motion of the breakwater is ...

Armor Stability on Submerged Breakwaters

Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal, and Ocean Engineering, 1992
Armor stability on submerged conventional breakwaters is examined using a hybrid method based on experimental, numerical, and empirical results. Four test runs are conducted to measure the horizontal fluid velocities and free-surface elevations over a submerged breakwater caused by a solitary wave.

Modelling of waves and currents around submerged breakwaters

Coastal Engineering, 2005
Abstract Recent experimental data collected during the DELOS project are used to validate two approaches for simulating waves and currents in the vicinity of submerged breakwaters. The first approach is a phase-averaged method in which a wave model is used to simulate wave transformation and calculate radiation stresses, while a flow model (2 ...
