Experimental Study on Hydrodynamic Characteristics of Barge-Type Breakwaters under Different Mooring Methods

In this paper, a yacht project in Tingjiang Town, Mawei, Fujian, is suggested as an example of barge type breakwater made out scrap barges. The physical modelling two-dimensional flume wave test was carried on barge-type breakwater, focusing the dissipation and anchor chain forces under two different mooring methods, “crossed tilt” “front rear direct pull” mooring, with no change size breakwater. results show that effect elimination gradually decreases increase elements conditions, but significantly better systems than systems; maximum tension “inner eight” diagonal method higher front straight pulling method. system greater fore aft method, while average does not methods.
