Abstract

Laboratory measurements in the long wave flume of the Waterlab of TU Delft to capture and obtain simultaneous laboratory measurements of the main hydrodynamic parameters generated by the response of small model scale submerged permeable rubble mound trapezoidal breakwaters (SPBs) under wave action, focusing on the turbulent wave flow characteristics in their interior, in order to investigate their eco-hydraulic properties (i.e. artificial habitat function efficiency in conjunction to shoreline protection level under the attack of wind waves). Measurements were performed using laser-doppler equipment and acoustic-doppler velocimeters, both inside and outside the breakwater. Regular and irregular waves were applied.
