Numerical simulation of wave overtopping above perforated caisson breakwaters

Numerical Simulation of Wave Overtopping Over Composite Berm Breakwater

Breakwaters have changed a lot during their design history. Overtopping is an important parameter that its evaluation and reduction has always been noticed. In this study, the wave overtopping of composite berm breakwater as a new conceptual structure has been investigated numerical modeling was performed using FLOW-3D software. Then, based on  a laboratory model conducted by Losada et al, cali...

Simulation of Wave Overtopping of Maritime Structures in a Numerical Wave Flume

A numerical wave flume based on the particle finite element method PFEM is applied to simulate wave overtopping for impermeable maritime structures. An assessment of the performance and robustness of the numerical wave flume is carried out for two different cases comparing numerical results with experimental data. In the first case, a well-defined benchmark test of a simple low-crested structur...

مدلسازی عددی روگذری موج از موجشکن توده سنگی با در نظر گرفتن اثر تخلخل

Wave overtopping on the breakwaters is an important issue in breakwaters’ design. Most of the previous studies focused on experimental researches and numerical modeling of irregular wave overtopping particularly on porous breakwaters has not been studied. In the present study, the verification between experimental studies and numerical modeling of irregular waves overtopping on the porous...

Experimental Studies of Wave Transmission through Single Perforated Sheets and Upright Perforated Wave Filters

Wave Reflection at Submerged Breakwaters

Several types of structures are used in Coastal Engineering with the aim of preventing shoreline erosion, such as groynes, detached breakwaters, submerged breakwaters, etc. Submerged breakwaters have the advantage of their minimal visual impact, which has made them ever more popular (Chang & Liou, 2007). When the incoming waves impinge on a submerged breakwater, a process of energy transformati...
