This paper presents an integrated coastal engineering numerical model. The model simulates the linear wave propagation, wave-induced circulation, sediment transport and bed morphology evolution. The model consists of three main modules:Wave-LS, Wave-L and Coast. The large-scale module Wave-LS is based on the numerical solution of the directional wave energy balance equation. The near-shore wave transformation module Wave-L is based on the hyperbolic-type mild slope equation and is valid for a compound wave field near coastal structures where the waves are subjected to the combined effects of shoaling, refraction, diffraction, reflection (total and partial) and breaking. Radiation stress components (estimated from the large-scale module as well as from the hyperbolic wave module) drive the depth-averaged circulation module Coast for the description of the near-shore currents and sediment transport in the surf and swash zone. The module Coast is coupled with a three-dimensional bed evolution module to predict coastal bathymetry changes.

“…Dong et al (2008) studied the wave dissipation of board-net floating breakwater experimentally (Buttolph, 2006). Koutandos, Karambas, and Koutitas (2004) investigated the transmission coefficient, reflection coefficient and the distribution of bottom pressure of the box-type floating breakwater obtained from the experimental study with one-dimensional motion in the vertical direction, the results show that the ratio of barrier width and wave length and the draft has a considerable influence on the performance of this breakwater. Mizutanl and Rahrnan (2004) carried on the experimental study with box-type floating breakwater anchored by perforated plates, and it showed that the perforation method, perforation numbers and angle of the plates impact the wave absorption capacity of the floating breakwaters.…”

Wang, H.; Xu, H.; Liu, P.; Duan, J.; Chen, H., and Wang, B., 2015. Experimental study on the dissipation characteristics of curtain-type flexible floating breakwater.This paper presents the wave dissipation efficacy of the new curtain-type flexible floating breakwater (CFFB) with the implementation of 3D tank tests. It evaluates the influence of the presence of the upper plate, the incident wave height, wave period and other factors on the wave dissipation property of CFFB. The main structure of CFFB is united body which consists of wave dissipation blocks and flexible cables. It has been found that this new CFFB has superior characteristics of hydrodynamic and wave attenuation. ADDITIONAL INDEX WORDS:Curtain-type, flexible, experimental study, wave dissipation.
