Solid and Permeable Submerged Breakwaters
The behaviour of thin and rectangular solid submerged breakwaters is re-examined. Dean's theory is found to be correct for a thin barrier in infinitely deep water. An empirical and theoretical relationship for the reflection coefficient of a thin breakwater across the wave number spectrum is proposed.

Morphodynamics in a beach with submerged breakwaters [PDF]
Σήμερα, πάνω από το 40% του παγκόσμιου πληθυσμού κατοικεί σε παράκτιες περιοχές, όπου συγκεντρώνεται και η πλειοψηφία των μεγαλουπόλεων. Η υπερσυγκέντρωση πληθυσμών στις ευαίσθητες αυτές ζώνες συνεπάγεται υπερβολικές πιέσεις τόσο στη στεριά, όσο και στη θάλασσα.

Interaction of Submerged Breakwater by a Solitary Wave Using WC-SPH Method
Interaction of a solitary wave and submerged breakwater is studied in a meshless, Lagrangian approach. For this purpose, a two-dimensional smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) code is developed. Furthermore, an extensive set of simulations is conducted.

Characteristics of Water Surface Variation around Double-Breaking Type Artificial Reef [PDF]
A submerged breakwater is one of the coastal structures used to reduce wave energy and coastal erosion. However, a submerged breakwater has a negative aspect in that a strong rip current occurring around an open inlet due to a difference in mean water ...

Water waves resonance and its interaction with submerged breakwater
Wave resonance phenomena in a basin can cause enormous damage to the environment. Resonance is caused by external forces coming into the basin with a similar period as the natural period of the basin.

A Study on Environmental Submerged Breakwaters
This paper discusses submerged breakwaters with cylindrical fish reefs. Various model tests were carried out to investigate regular and irregular wave transmissions. The tests revealed several fundamental principles about the wave transmission of the reef-type breakwaters. When the reef crest width is large, the wave dissipation can be expected to have

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.

Modeling the Impact of the Implementation of a Submerged Structure on Surf Zone Sandbar Dynamics
Coastal defense strategies based on structures are increasingly unpopular as they are costly, leave lasting scars on the landscape, and sometimes have limited effectiveness or even adverse impacts.
