A Study on Environmental Submerged Breakwaters
PROCEEDINGS OF CIVIL ENGINEERING IN THE OCEAN, 1996 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

Indonesian inquiry: A narrative of biocultural teaching on Sulawesi Utara
British Educational Research Journal, Volume 52, Issue 1, Page 88-103, February 2026.Abstract Using phenomenology, narrative inquiry and autoethnographic approaches, this study analyses a program of faculty development conducted alongside the delivery of an international field school. Through this study, we explore the value and benefits of inter‐cultural field programming and how these might serve to complement or to redress ...

Wave Reflection 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.

Some solutions to respond climate change for the Mekong Delta, Viet Nam [PDF]
, 2017 In the recent decades, the Mekong River Delta has suffered quite significant impacts of climate change. Fluctuations of weather elements and sea level rises have caused adverse changes, namely: the appearance of unusual high and low levels of annual ...

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 500-520, February 2026.ABSTRACT Since the 2011 Great East Japan earthquake, tsunami evacuation towers have been constructed in coastal regions based on worst‐case predictions to provide additional safety margins against unprecedented tsunamis. However, the extent to which such assumptions effectively reduce casualty risk remains unclear.

Numerical Simulation of Solitary Wave Induced Flow Motion around a Permeable Submerged Breakwater
Journal of Applied Mathematics, 2012 This paper presents a numerical model for the simulation of solitary wave transformation around a permeable submerged breakwater. The wave-structure interaction is obtained by solving the Volume-Averaged Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes governing ...

Methods for coastal monitoring and erosion risk assessment: two Portuguese case studies [PDF]
, 2015 Coastal zones are naturally dynamic and mobile systems exposed to natural (river flows, waves and storms) as well as human interventions that continuously reshape their morphology. Erosion phenomena related to extreme weather events and sediment scarcity

Do Public Perceptions of the Environment Align With Empirical Measures?
Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand, Volume 56, Issue 1, February 2026.To create effective environmental communications and policies, it is crucial to understand how laypeople, scientists, and experts perceive the environment. This study, based on a large‐scale, nationally representative survey from Aotearoa New Zealand and scientific reports and literature, examines the similarities and differences in perceptions across ...

Experimental Study on Wave Transmission and Reflection at Impermeable Submerged Breakwaters
International Journal of Coastal and Offshore Engineering, 2017 Submerged breakwaters are a special type of breakwater associated with low wave reflection. They can also save large quantities of engineering resources from the view of economics.
