Abstract: Existing floating breakwaters of different types are examined and the performance of each studied. An important parameter identified with the performance characteristics of floating breakwaters is the width to wave length ratio

Abstract: Conventional floating breakwaters are examined and the feasibility of developing a cage floating breakwater is explored. Earlier studies on floating breakwaters reveal that, to achieve a transmission coefficient (

Abstract: A suspended pipe breakwater was designed specifically for fishery/pleasure-craft harbors where moderate wave agitations in the harbor basin are admissible. The present breakwater consists of a row of closely spaced pipes ...

Abstract: The in‐line hydrodynamic forces on submerged tubular members have been investigated experimentally for different positional depths (

Abstract: Floating breakwaters have potential applications in protecting minor ports and harbors such as fisheries and recreational harbors, where-in stringent tranquillity requirements are not warranted. In ...
