Abstract Submerged porous breakwater in shallow estuarine environments is considered to have the potential provide shoreline protection as well offshore structures. The research aims address how submerged structures can effectively attenuate wave energy waters. In this paper, generation library waves2Foam used generate waves. A series of numerical experiments are conducted taking into account d...

Article history: Received 19 October 2007 Received in revised form 19 February 2008 Accepted 20 February 2008 Available online 18 April 2008 This paper concerns the behaviour of nonlinear regular waves interacting with rectangular submerged breakwaters. A new series of experimental results is presented and compared with numerical calculations based upon a Boundary Element Method (BEM) that util...

Most coastal structures have been built in surf zones to protect coastal areas. In general, the transformation of waves in the surf zone is quite complicated and numerous hazards to coastal communities may be associated with such phenomena. Therefore, the behavior of waves in the surf zone should be carefully analyzed and predicted. Furthermore, an accurate analysis of deformed waves around coa...

In this paper, we investigate the wave damping mechanism by sinusoidal submerged breakwater using a half-linear Shallow Water Equations (SWE). We solve equations analytically multi-scale expansion method to obtain elevation profile over with specific height and length. Then, get information about how much caused breakwater, derived analytical solution reflection transmission coefficient. Furthe...
