Greenwater (splashing of water on the deck) loading is a classical problem faced by designers ship-shaped vessels, which becomes even worse when vessel operates in harsh weather conditions for an extended period time. Installation breakwaters deck can play crucial role minimizing this impact. However, research design and optimization breakwater still its infancy, study aims at shedding further ...

Wave energy composes a direct and easy way of harnessing power from the Ocean. Among the different techniques used, OWC devices stand as one of the most promising ones. NEREIDA MOWC demonstration project is a breakwater wave plant located in the Basque location of Mutriku, using Wells turbines and Doubly Fed Induction Generators (DFIGs). Since one of the main objectives when dealing with renewa...

Probabilistic Neural Network for Predicting the Stability numbers of Breakwater Armor Blocks Doo Kie Kim1, Dong Hyawn Kim2, Seong Kyu Chang1 and Sang Kil Chang1 Summary The stability numbers determining the Armor units are very important to design breakwaters, because armor units are designed for defending breakwaters from repeated wave loads. This study presents a probabilistic neural network ...

Tsunami waves are often very energetic and therefore pose a significant threat to coastal structures. However, most defenses such as detached breakwaters designed protect against storm waves, with the consequence that tsunamis lead catastrophic failure of these This numerical study was inspired by wave scenario, which occurred at Soma Port in Japan, during 2011 Tohoku tsunami where combination ...
