In this study two breakwater models with different conditions of bed, waves and water level are employed to analyze the toe stability and scour depth. The tests are conducted with regular waves. It is found that the scour depth in front of the rubble-mound breakwater depends on wave height, structure slope, water level and wave period, but the results reveal the effect of wave period toe is mor...

Although the flash smelting technologies use different furnace designs, the refractory linings are exposed to very similar aggressive environments and, as a result, the corrosion analysis results on one type of furnace could be generally applied to other furnaces of similar high temperature processes. Particularities regarding the different chemistries of the pyrometallurgical process and opera...

Floating breakwaters are good alternative to the so-called fixed base breakwaters, which, in addition to having the main purpose of protecting the beach from waves, also maintain the water connection between the sea and the protected area. Researchers in order to increase the efficiency and increase the performance range of floating breakwaters, have done many researches on their effective para...

In the present paper optimum height of skirt of Skirt Pontoon Floating Breakwater are reported by physical model. 54 tests on 3 types (skirt heights : 8,16 and 24 cm) of skirt pontoon floating breakwater is conducted in the wave flume of Soil Conservative and Watershed Research Center. Hydrodynamical and geometrical parameters were analysised. In this research optimum height of skirt to water d...

Wave overtopping on the breakwaters is an important issue in breakwaters’ design. Most of the previous studies focused on experimental researches and numerical modeling of irregular wave overtopping particularly on porous breakwaters has not been studied. In the present study, the verification between experimental studies and numerical modeling of irregular waves overtopping on the porous...
