Floating Liquefied Natural Gas (FLNG) units combine gas pre-treatment to tight specifications and natural gas liquefaction that are new to offshore with traditional production systems that are commonly found on oil Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessels. Attention is often focused on the new units, sometimes forgetting that successful operation of the Liquefied Natural Gas (L...

Floating breakwaters are widely used due to their various advantages over stationary breakwaters. Lots of researches have been done on hydrodynamics and the type of bracing of these kinds of structures in recent years. In this study, numerical modeling of stresses caused by collision waves has been investigated. For this purpose, samples of floating breakwaters have been modeled in ANSYS softwa...

submerged breakwaters are one of the shore protective structures. any discontinuity in these breakwaters causes changes on current parameters including speed and water surface profile. in this paper, discontinuous submerged breakwaters were modelled to investigate the changes in the wave and flow pattern.to investigate the phenomenon, three models including a shore with constant slope, a shore ...

Nowadays, the application of floating breakwaters in small or recreational harbors has found more popularity. These types of breakwaters are more flexible in terms of design, configuration and especially installation compared with fixed breakwaters. In the current study, the performance of floating breakwater (FBs) under regular waves was studied using the physical modeling method. For the mode...

Abstract A novel concept of wave attenuator is proposed for the defense long waves, through integrating a flexible tail to lee-side surface pile breakwater. The works as floating blanket made up hinged blocks, whose scale and stiffness can be easily adjusted. two-phase-flow numerical model established based on open-source computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code OpenFOAM investigate its attenuat...
