Contributor D' Angremond, K. (mentor) Faculty Civil Engineering and Geosciences Department Hydraulic Engineering Date 1993-04-13 Abstract A study has been conducted to investigate the wave attenuation characteristics and the mooring forces of a new concept of a floating breakwater concept i n a three-dimensional wave situation with regular waves. A literature study showed that the mooring forces of a floating breakwater in a two dimensional wave situation hardly had been studied. The wave damping aspects, however, were studied in much more detail for a two-dimensional situation. Three-dimensional research has not been documented in this literature. In this study the influences of wave direction, mooring line pretension, water depth, breakwater length and breakwater configuration have been investigated. It appeared that different wave transmission coefficients could be obtained by changing the breakwater orientation relative to the wave propagation direction. Further it appeared that the mooring line pretension hardly influenced the wave transmission.
