Abstract:We discuss the response of the wave dissipating blocks composing a detached breakwater to the waves with various periods, based on both the experimental and numerical results. First, in the hydraulic experiments, the number of the blocks fallen by the irregular waves was the largest when the still water level is moderate, namely the HWL. When the large and long wave is incident, the overflow that lasted for a long time fell many blocks at the back of the breakwater. When the irregular waves, long wave, and irr… Show more
