Abstract:Wind is a significant factor influencing the stability of breakwater armor stones. However, few existing studies have considered the effects of wind on these structures. In this study, two-dimensional laboratory experiments were conducted to examine the effect of wind on the stability of breakwater armor stones. The stability factor (KD) of the armor stone, fluid velocity, runup, and rundown were observed under the action of waves and winds. A wind turbine was installed in front of the physical model of the br… Show more
