Experimental study on configuration optimization of floating breakwaters [PDF]
, 2016 In this paper, four types of floating breakwaters (FB) are proposed: cylindrical floating breakwater (CFB), porous floating breakwater (PFB), mesh cage floating breakwater type-I (MCFB-I) and mesh cage floating breakwater type-II (MCFB-II).

A non-intrusive and continuous-in-space technique to investigate the wave transformation and breaking over a breakwater [PDF]
, 2016 To design longshore breakwaters, the evaluation of the wave motion transformations over the structures and of the energy they are able to absorb, dissipate and reflect is necessary.

SEABED SCOUR AROUND SUBMERGED BREAKWATER [PDF]
The Egyptian International Journal of Engineering Sciences and Technology, 2005 This research presents the results of an experimental study on seabed scour around a submerged breakwater exposed to regular waves. The transmission coefficient as well as the maximum equilibrium scour depth and maximum equilibrium deposition height recorded for different wave frequencies and different relative breakwater heights.

Modeling the Impact of the Implementation of a Submerged Structure on Surf Zone Sandbar Dynamics
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2019 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.

The effect of waves on rubble-mound structures [PDF]
, 1975 For thousands of years breakwaters have been built at or near the coast to protect harbors or coastlines from wave attack. One of the earliest known harbor protection schemes was devised in about 2000 B.C.

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

Monitoring of the water particle velocity field near the seabed under different wave and tidal scenarios: a real case [PDF]
, 2015 Monitoring of water particle velocity on the sea bed is crucial to study morphological shore changes in a coast at intermediate and shallow water depth under progressive surface waves and tidal flow current. Therefore, 3-D particle velocity was monitored
