Abstract: A numerical model is developed based on multidomain boundary element method (MBEM) to investigate the scattering of surface gravity waves by a pair of floating porous boxes. This study reveals that there is a significant ...

Abstract: In the present study, surface gravity wave scattering and radiation by a freely floating rectangular buoy placed near a partially reflecting seawall and in the presence of an array of caisson blocks are analyzed. Various ...

Abstract: The comprehensive usage of an array of natural or artificial semi-circular breakwaters (SCBs) as supporting structures to secure the floating/fixed structures are received increasingly more consideration in recent years. ...

Abstract: The gravity wave interaction with a flexible membrane placed at a finite distance from the partially reflecting seawall is analyzed under the framework of linear water wave theory using the multi-domain boundary element ...

Abstract: Oscillating water column (OWC) wave energy converters are one of the most widely researched devices for ocean wave energy harvesting. This study investigates the hydrodynamic performance of a shore-fixed OWC device for ...

Abstract: The study evaluates the hydrodynamic performance of quarter-circular breakwater (QCB) with various types of porous shields (say retrofits) under incident waves. The QCB with (i) vertical shield, (ii) seaside quarter-circular ...

Abstract: Surface gravity wave interaction with a novel composite pile–rock breakwater having a stack of porous plates fixed on its top is investigated in the present study. A numerical code based on the dual boundary element method ...
