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 …

Heave plates exert a unique influence on the motions of marine structures floating in seas or
oceans. Due to their low thickness and sharp edges, the hydrodynamic performance of …

In this paper we propose and discuss a screen type of force model for the viscous
hydrodynamic load on nets. The screen model assumes that the net is divided into a number …

Hydrodynamic forces on heave plates for a semi-submersible floating offshore wind turbine
are discussed herein. A model of one of the platform columns has been built. This allows for …

Analytical solutions for wave interaction with a vertical porous barrier are presented. The
analytical solutions are derived using two different methods for taking the depth-average of …

Rectangular tanks partially filled with water and fitted with vertical perforated screens have
been proposed as Tuned Liquid Dampers to mitigate the vibratory response of land …

The use of a simple, inexpensive, and effective type of floating breakwater is increasingly
becoming a necessity in shoreline and marine structure protection. This study concerns the …

In this paper, water wave interaction with an array of thin submerged horizontal circular
plates is investigated within the framework of linear potential flow theory. To consider a more …

A boundary element method (BEM) model is presented for wave forces on structures
composed of solid and porous surfaces, where the porous surface can be subject to either a …

This study investigates the effect of nonlinear strengths of sloshing on damping performance
of side-mounted perforated baffles and discusses the influence of perforated baffles on …
