The purpose of this paper is to test the feasibility and affectivity of Bragg breakwaters on increasing wave energy by using wave conditions. The Bragg reflection phenomena will depend on the wavelength of surface waves and the spacing of the submerged breakwater. The spacing of the submerged breakwater is the most important parameter for designing a series of submerged breakwaters. In this pap...

A submerged horizontal plate type breakwater is pointed out as an efficient wave protection device for cage culture in marine fishery. In order to reveal the wave elimination principle of this type breakwater, boundary element method is utilized to investigate this problem. The flow field and the trajectory of water particles are studied carefully. The flow field analysis shows that: the intera...

in this paper wave transformation in a submerged sloped breakwater and its hydraulic performance was simulated by developing a numerical model in fortran. the code was established by combining porous flow and a two-phase model using vof method. modified navier-stokes and k-ε equations implemented to the model to simulate the flow in porous media. cut cell method was modified to simulate fluid t...

This paper presents a numerical model for the simulation of solitary wave transformation around a permeable submerged breakwater. The wave-structure interaction is obtained by solving the Volume-Averaged Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes governing equations VARANS and volume of fluid VOF theory. This model is applied to understand the effects of porosity, equivalent mean diameter of porous media,...

In the present article a new procedure is proposed to study the interactions between maritime breakwaters (submerged or emerged) and the waves, by integrating CAD and CFD software. The approach is meant to match closely the physical laboratory test procedure, and it is oriented at analyzing the hydrodynamic aspects of the phenomenon (overtopping, breaking, run-up, reflection, transmission) and ...
