Wave attenuation performance is the prime consideration when designing any floating breakwater. For a 2D hydrodynamic analysis of breakwater, wave evaluated by transmission coefficient, which defined as ratio between transmitted height and incident height. 3D some researchers still adopted this evaluation approach with taken at surface point, while others used mean coefficient within area. This...

Recruitment is an important process in regulating many marine benthic communities and many studies have examined factors controlling the dispersal and distribution of larval immigrants. However, benthic species also have early post-settlement life-stages that are dramatically different from adult and larval stages. Predation on these stages potentially impacts measured recruitment and the benth...

The linearized theory of water waves is used to examine the diffraction of an incident wave by a permeable breakwater that consists of a number of distinct elements. Under the assumption that the wavelength is much greater than the thickness, each element is replaced by a thin structure and the permeability is modeled by a suitable boundary condition applied on its surface. The diffracted wave ...

in this paper wave transformation in a submerged sloped breakwater and its hydraulic performance was simulated by developing a numerical model in fortran. the code was established by combining porous flow and a two-phase model using vof method. modified navier-stokes and k-ε equations implemented to the model to simulate the flow in porous media. cut cell method was modified to simulate fluid t...
