Oscillating water column (OWC) is one of the mechanisms for extracting wave energy from
ocean waves. In this study, we experimentally investigated the hydrodynamic performance …

Human-induced global warming, caused by greenhouse gases, raises temperatures and
sea levels, posing risks to coastal communities and ecosystems. Interest in nature-based …

This paper introduces the concept of free surface breakwaters for coastal protection. The
advantages, limitations and applications of these breakwaters are discussed. Based on their …

Permeable breakwaters have always been of interest due to their advantages over the
traditional types. This study proposed a stochastic multi-criteria decision-making model to …

The wave-attenuation performances and hydrodynamics of moored box-type floating
breakwaters with the same weight, same wall thickness, and six different cross-sections, ie …

The comprehensive utilization of floating breakwaters, specially acting as a supporting
structure for offshore marine renewable energy explorations, has received more and more …

This paper proposes a new box-type breakwater with superstructure arranged near free
surface. The hydrodynamic performance of this new breakwater is studied through …

During the hydrodynamic analysis of the incident wave with the floating breakwater, the
viscous effect for example the vortex generation and the energy dissipation is one of the …

Sažetak A floating breakwater is a coastal building that aims to break up or withstand wave
energy that enters the beach so that the characteristics of the incoming waves are by …

This paper presents a numerical analysis of nonlinear interaction between inverse T-type
free surface breakwater and regular/irregular waves using a zonal hybrid RANS/laminar …
