Abstract: The stability of a cubic armored breakwater head and trunk under monochromatic wave trains is experimentally studied. For the head there is a sector, roughly of 60°, where the unit stability is minimum. The stability ...

Abstract: Three-dimensional physical models of low-crested, detached rubble-mound breakwaters were built, with their individual sections representing the following components of the breakwater: front slope, crest, back slope, total ...

Abstract: The description of a sea state just by its variance spectral density and duration is not enough to analyze the stability of rubble-mound breakwaters, since it does not include an adequate characterization of the large waves ...

Abstract: This paper presents a numerical model for long-wave interaction with vertically walled porous structures. Based on depth-integrated equations of motion, the model is suitable for weakly nonlinear, weakly dispersive transient ...
