2. 1. Dynamic Characteristics of Floating Breakwaters

   Author : Aurora Xiaomeng Lei; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; floating breakwaters; couplings joints ; dynamic cables; dynamic response; line tension; wave attenuation; wave reflection;

   Abstract : The dynamic behaviour of interconnected floating breakwaters has been studied theoretically and experimentally. For this type of shore-protection system, problems that must be dealt with include wave loads on the breakwaters caused by the interaction between the bodies and the waves, motions of the moored breakwaters caused by the waves, changed wave fields in front of and behind the breakwaters, and forces on the mooring cables and in interconnections between breakwater units.

4. 2. Numerical Model of Beach Topography Evolution due to Waves and Currents: Special Emphasis on Coastal Structures

   Author : Thanh Nam Pham; Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; morphodynamics; surface roller; wave-induced currents; random waves; sediment transport; coastal structures;

   Abstract : The beach topography change in the nearshore zone may be induced by natural phenomena such as wind, wave, storm, tsunami, and sea level rise. However, it can also be caused by man-made structures and activities, for example, groins, detached breakwaters, seawalls, dredging, and beach nourishment. READ MORE
