Breakwaters are marine structures useful for the safe harbouring of ships and the protection of harbours from sedimentation and coasts from erosion. Breakwater monitoring is then a critical part of coastal engineering research, since it is crucial to know the state of a breakwater at any time in order to evaluate its health in terms of stability and plan restoration works. In this paper we pres...

A simple analytical model is presented in this work to investigate reflection coefficients due the interactions of waves with rectangular submerged obstacles/and submarine trenches. Our intention present a simulate and study water-wave scattering by evaluating coefficients. Further, our challenge an that can easily simultaneously effects trenches on wave scattering. Furthermore, are investigate...

The present paper provides the results of an experimental and numerical investigation on a submerged rubble-mound breakwater with aim to study its performance in terms wave transmission condition large tidal range. has been conducted at EUMER laboratory University Salento. In 2D flume, small-scale physical model constructed exposed different conditions water levels. observations have used calib...

Shorelines at the interface of marine, estuarine and terrestrial biomes are among the most degraded and threatened habitats in the coastal zone because of their sensitivity to sea level rise, storms and increased human utilization. Previous efforts to protect shorelines have largely involved constructing bulkheads and seawalls which can detrimentally affect nearshore habitats. Recently, efforts...
