Abstract: The hydrodynamic performance characteristics of a quadrant front-face pile-supported breakwater are investigated through a comprehensive experimental program. The breakwater model consists of a quadrant front face resting ...

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: A comprehensive experimental program has been carried out in order to assess the characteristics like reflection and transmission coefficients of slotted wave screens formed with a series of horizontally placed circular ...

Abstract: The submerged semicircular breakwater (SBW) is mainly adopted to prevent beach erosion and to reduce the incident wave energy on its leeside, if it is used in front of a vertical breakwater. ...

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 ...
