This paper reviews recent progress in the study of perforated/slotted breakwaters, with an
emphasis on two main groups of such breakwaters:(1) perforated/slotted breakwaters with …

Analytical approaches and numerical tools play a significant role in the research and design
of porous and perforated breakwaters. Before a new porous or perforated breakwater …

This paper describes the hydrodynamic characteristics of a pile-supported vertical wall
breakwater, the upper part of which is a vertical wall, and the lower part consisting of an …

An analytical model has been developed that predicts the reflection of irregular waves
normally incident upon a perforated-wall caisson breakwater. To examine the predictability …

In this paper, we introduce the closed-form solution developed by Kim in 1998 for calculating
the reflection and transmission coefficients of a vertical slotted barrier, which is not well …

In this paper, a type of pile breakwater is studied in a configuration that can provide an
effective shore protection structure. While, the rubble mound breakwaters are the most …

Coastal erosion of beaches has been a common problem around the world. One of the eco-
friendly control measures for coastal erosion is to dissipate the energy of waves impinging …

This paper presents a mathematical model which computes the hydrodynamic
characteristics of a curtainwall–pile breakwater (CPB) using circular piles, by modifying the …

An economical, ecofriendly and efficient breakwater system is vital for coastal protection and
harbour tranquility. In this regard, various researchers are working to develop the …

Breakwaters are constructed for dissipating the wave energy and safeguarding the coastline
from destructive wave forces. Conventional pile breakwater built using prismatic circular …
