Modelling the morphodynamics in the vicinity of a submerged detached breakwater

Effects of detached breakwaters on drowning due to rip and circulation currents

“…The study shows that the coastal circulation pattern around the structure is asymmetric and composed of two cells induced by the divergence of cross-shore currents generated in the submerged breakwater towards the shore. The study also demonstrates the coastal circulation patterns that occur in the structure's vicinity, which influences the coastline's evolution [1].…”

“…The study also demonstrated the coastal circulation patterns occurring in the vicinity between the structure and the shoreline, which influenced the coastline's transformation. Additionally, many eddies may be generated behind submerged breakwaters [1,2]. mentioned in [5,6,8].…”

“…Calibration was carried out by choosing eight points in the study area. These points have latitudes and longitudes from point 1 The selected points are located at different distances along the shoreline. The selected points are at (1.00:1.5) m depth under the sea water level, the traveling times of the floating bodies and distances between points are measured, and the velocities of currents are calculated.…”

Analysis of Wave Characteristic in Fuel Terminal Serui

“…Numerical modeling can be carried out to examine the hydrodynamic behavior and nearshore morphology, allowing the study of interactions between different structures (Oliveira et al, 2018). Waves propagate from deep waters towards the shore through several processes of change in wave height, speed, direction, and other phenomena such as shallowing processes (wave shoaling), refraction processes (refraction), diffraction processes (diffraction), or reflection processes (reflection) before the wave broke (wave breaking) (Pratikto et al, 2014).…”
