Wave Transmission Coefficient

The water-wave transmission coefficient for a small slit in a thick vertical barrier is obtained theoretically and verified both experimentally and by comparison with an exact theory for the case of zero thickness. Similar shallow-water results are presented.

Breakwaters made of sand container is one of the most economical options for wave protection at coastal areas. These breakwaters have been adopted with mixed success at several locations in Malaysia. Nevertheless, the performance of these structure has not been properly studied and documented to date. This study is undertaken to study the wave transmission ability of the submerged sand container breakwater with respect to its width and height as well as the water depth. A number of experiments have been conducted in a wave flume to quantify the wave transmission coefficient of the test models of different layouts when exposed to regular waves. The experimental result has shown that the breakwater is effective in arresting the shorter period waves, particularly in shallow water. The height of the breakwater has to be increased in order to arrest the longer period waves.

Wave Transmission Coefficient

This paper is presented to develop the hydrodynamic performance of double-row floating breakwater (FBW) by changing cross-sectional geometry in the high wave periods. The ANSYS-AQWA software is employed for the present calculations, which is a potential-based boundary element method (BEM). The rectangular moored pontoons in the single- and double-row types are selected, and the results of the wave transmission coefficient and response amplitude operator (RAO) are presented and compared. The numerical results showed good agreement with experimental data at different wavelengths, wave height, and the distance between double-row FBWs. Then, the performance results of FBWs for five shapes (rectangular, π-shaped, plus-shaped, triangular-shaped, and box-shaped) in the wave transmission coefficient, RAO, and mooring line tension are presented and compared to each other. The results showed that the plus-shaped FBW has a better performance in reducing wave transmission than other shapes. In waves with long periods, the performance of π-shaped, triangular-shaped, and box-shaped FBWs is reduced, and the rectangular FBW loses its efficiency. Overall, the plus-shaped FBW has preferable performance regarding RAO response, mooring tension, and wave transmission.
