Wave attenuation by a floating slab

To predict the effect of a floating viscoelastic slab on the propagation and attenuation of gravity waves, a theoretical linear model has been developed. The slab has been modeled as a Kelvin-Voigt model and the fluid is assumed to be ideal. For long and short wave theory a dispersion relation for gravity waves covered by a viscoelastic slab of...

Floating breakwaters: Literature review

The purpose of this report is to find out which floating breakwaters can be utilized in open sea conditions and what can be expected of them. Since every breakwater interferes with the energy of the waves, it is logical that a probable power generation function of floating breakwaters is also investigated. This report is a global review of the...
