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 …

The present study investigates the hydrodynamic performance of a hybrid wave energy
converter device consisting of a piezoelectric plate and the oscillating water column wave …

In the present study, regular water wave interaction with rubble mound offshore breakwaters
(RMOB) is investigated. The porosity of the RMOB is uniform, and the breakwaters are …

A piezoelectric wave energy converter (PWEC) device integrated with an impermeable
breakwater placed over an undulated seabed is considered. The PWEC device is composed …

The use of flexible breakwaters to protect offshore areas from wave impacts has increased in
recent years, owing to their cost effectiveness, environmental friendliness, and simple …

In the present study, the effectiveness of using multiple slatted screens placed in front of a
caisson porous breakwater to dissipate the incident wave energy is analyzed. To model the …

Rubble mound breakwaters are porous structures providing a calm basin for ship berthing,
loading, and offloading in ports. In this paper, a numerical model was developed to study …

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 …

This study developed a two-dimensional fully nonlinear numerical wave tank (FN-NWT) to
examine the nonlinear interaction between waves and dual submerged porous structures …

This paper presents a two-dimensional simulation model for the idealisation of moored
rectangular and trapezoidal floating breakwaters (FB) motions in regular and irregular …
