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.

CYCLONE MODELS FOR A SUBMERGED BREAKWATER
Proceedings of International Structural Engineering and Construction, 2014 Kahului Harbor, located on the north shore of Maui, Hawaii, is approached by waves from the northwest in winter and northeast in summer. Wave energy entering the harbor during large swell events has repeatedly caused damage to existing protective structures and operations.

SOLITARY WAVES PASSING OVER SUBMERGED BREAKWATERS
Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 1988 A method is described for the computation of the two-dimensional unsteady motion of a solitary wave passing over submerged breakwaters. Far from the breakwater the fluid is assumed static and the sea bed is level. The fluid motion is assumed to be irrotational, incompressible and inviscid.

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 ...

A non-hydrostatic model for wave evolution on a submerged trapezoidal breakwater
Results in Applied Mathematics, 2023 A depth-averaged non-hydrostatic model is formulated to investigate wave evolution on a water channel with a submerged trapezoidal breakwater. This model is an extension of nonlinear shallow water equations that includes hydrodynamic pressure and ...

On Formulae for Wave Transmission at Submerged and Low-Crested Breakwaters
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022 Submerged and low-crested breakwaters are nearshore barriers with an underwater or slightly emergent crest, designed to reduce the energy of wave attacks and, consequently, to protect the coast from erosion and flooding. Their performance in reducing the
