WAVE DIFFRACTION AND TRANSMISSION BY A SUBMERGED BREAKWATER
Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 2018 The wave field around a rectangular submerged breakwater is investigated by means of an experiment in numerical wave flume. The results were compared with those obtained making use of the Boundary Element Method. The numerical experiment is carried out to determine the share of the incident wave energy that are reflected, dissipated over the roof of ...

Eastern United States: Potential Range for Ecologically Based Coastal Defenses in 2100
Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 1, March 2026.These maps show where black mangroves can potentially thrive along the US east coast by the end of the 21st century under several climate scenarios. Similar work was done for oyster reefs and saltmarshes. ABSTRACT Eco‐defenses (mangroves, oyster reefs, and saltmarshes) are ecosystems that can help to mitigate the effects of natural hazards and erosion ...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract Soft cliffed coasts are particularly vulnerable to erosion and their retreat depends on environmental, geological and geomechanical factors. In this work, we use a mathematical modeling approach to understand effects of future global sea level rise on these coasts over multiple centuries.

Effectiveness of Ecosystem‐Based Coastal Defenses Against Flooding
Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract Coastal flooding is growing substantially as storms increase and sea levels rise rapidly due to climate change. It is therefore important to find safe and sustainable ways to protect coastal communities against this growing risk. However, the effectiveness of traditional coastal defenses (hard seawalls) (HS) is being questioned due to concerns

Wave Transmision on Interlocking Concrete Block Submerged Breakwater
Jurnal Teknik Hidraulik, 2018 When a large dimension of rock needed for an armored layer of breakwater, the scarcity of it became a major adversity, because of that many research subject of using concrete as a substitute for rock performed.

Transformation of statistical and spectral wave periods crossing a smooth low-crested structure
Oceanologia, 2012 We carried out experimental studies of a smooth submerged breakwater in a wave channel in order to study such a structure impacts on thechanges of statistically and spectrally defined representative wave periods as waves cross it.

SUBMERGED CONCRETE CAISSON BREAKWATER CONSTRUCTION
Proceedings of International Structural Engineering and Construction, 2016 After numerical and physical modeling, and alternate analysis, the proposed solution to mitigate wave energies entering Kahului Harbor, Maui was to construct a submerged concrete caisson breakwater, just outside the harbor that would economically improve the harbor tranquility and be environmentally friendly. One of the major challenges of this project
