nowadays, the application of floating breakwaters in small or recreational harbors has found more popularity. these types of breakwaters are more flexible in terms of design, configuration and especially installation compared with fixed breakwaters. in the current study, the performance of floating breakwater (fbs) under regular waves was studied using the physical modeling method. for the mode...

Planning and design of coastal protection works like floating pipe breakwater require information about the performance characteristics of the structure in reducing the wave energy. Several researchers have carried out analytical and numerical studies on floating breakwaters in the past but failed to give a simple mathematical model to predict the wave transmission through floating breakwaters ...

This paper presents the concept and initial tank testing of a novel low profile floating breakwater incorporating energy generation. The breakwater is intended to be anchored parallel to the coast with a beach at the front of the device to rotate the incoming waves towards collector tubes. The water hammer principle is used to harvest the high water particle velocities, charging a rear mounted ...

Combining wave energy converters (WECs) with a floating breakwater provides potential approach to help develop commercial-scale power operations. This paper aims design and optimize three-dimensional integrated WEC array by developing numerical model of multi-floating-body coupled system based on flow theory viscous correction in the frequency domain. By analyzing surface elevations around brea...
