Abstract:The performance of an intermediate-scale modular, permeable, floating breakwater comprised of an array of vertical screens is optimized and tested. A distinctive attribute of this breakwater design is its adaptive capacity to fluctuating water levels owing to its floating configuration, thereby preserving its efficacy during high tide and storm tide scenarios—an advancement over conventional bottom-mounted structures. The initial validation of the concept was tested in a laboratory wave basin in regular waves,… Show more
