Detached Breakwaters

In this paper, the hydraulic functions and stability of detached breakwaters and submerged breakwaters with wide crown widths are discussed. The following subjects with regard to detached and submerged breakwaters are discussed: - Function of detached breakwaters in controlling waves and wave-induced currents - Function of detached breakwaters...

Mound Breakwaters under Wave Attack

Research on rubble mound breakwaters when confronted with waves. The rapport covers the flow characteristics and mound stability under regular waves and under oblique wave attack. The authors find a formula for rough, permeable slopes, flow characteristics under the action of a regular wave train by a function of the type. Furthermore they...
