A reshaping berm breakwater is a type of rubble mound breakwater in which, its seaward slope is allowed to reshape under wave attacks. There are some key parameters in the reshaped seaward profiles, which can schematize the reshaped profile of a berm breakwater. A total of 412 test results was used directly to cover the impact of sea state conditions and structural parameters on these reshaping...

Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are suitable for underwater observation, since they can swim freely without an umbilical cable. This paper proposes a robust navigation method for AUVs operating around artificial structures such as piers, quays and breakwaters. This method consists of a State Estimator and a Guidance System, enabling localization in the configuration map as well as followi...

Breakwaters are the important and the costly ones of the marine structures. Composite breakwater is one of the common types in the world. Because of the progress in marine industry in Iran in recent years, designers have noticed this structure. Because of the sensitivity of composite breakwater to environmental conditions, also construction costs, difficulty of repair and maintenance and import...

Numerical modelling of wave interaction with rock-armoured rubble mound breakwaters has been performed to study overtopping. The influences the slope angle, a berm in seaward slope, protruding crest wall, recurved parapet, and steepness have studied using validated CFD model (OpenFOAM). numerical confirms trends that observed physical tests while validity earlier developed guidelines examined o...

Integrating multi-type Wave Energy Converters (WECs) enables wave energy to be extracted from multiple harvesting manners simultaneously, which presents a more competitive conversion technology. In this study, an Oscillating Water Column (OWC) and Buoy (OB) are combined devise hybrid WEC system that serves as floating breakwater. The two devices aligned in line with the incident direction, wher...
