Experimental study on ocean waves propagating over a submerged breakwater in front of a vertical seawall

open access: yesOcean Engineering, 2005
In this note, the interaction between water waves, a submerged breakwater, a vertical wall and a sandy seabed is studied experimentally. Laboratory experiments were conducted to record the water surface elevation and the pore pressures inside the seabed ...

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 ...
