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: The interaction of continuous freshwater flow from an upstream basin into a bar-blocked estuary is investigated following ideas previously proposed by Debler and Imberger. The interface point, defined as the point of ...

Abstract: Shoaling in intermediate and shallow waters is a major process that occurs as the water wave travels toward the shore from deep waters. Evaluation of the appropriate shoaling coefficient (Ks) is essential in understanding ...

Abstract: The hydrodynamic interaction of regular and random waves with a model offshore deck has been investigated in a wave flume. The hydrodynamic pressures and forces on the model as well as its reflection and transmission ...

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 ...

Abstract: An experimental investigations was carried out on a perforated circular cylinder (

Abstract: The December 2004 Sumatra earthquake triggered massive tsunami waves in the Indian Ocean and the Bay of Bengal. The tsunami waves traveled primarily in the east-west direction and caused major damage along the coasts of ...
