Delos final report

Summary of all results of the Delos (Environmental design of low crested structures) project. Objectives of Delos were (1) to provide an inventory of Low Crested Structures (LCS), (2) analyse LCS hydrodynamic an stability and their effects on morphology (3) investigate impacts of LCS (4) develop methodology for Integrated Coastal Zone Management...

Wave basin experiment Delos

Low-Crested stmctures (LCS's) are typically built in shallow water as detached breakwaters for coastal protection purposes. The structures are usually parallel to the shoreline with wave attack almost perpendicular to the structure. However under special enviromnental conditions more oblique waves can occur. Groin systems or breakwaters for...
