This paper aims at providing a state-of-the-art review on the applications of particle methods
in hydrodynamics-related problems in ocean and coastal engineering. The problems are …

The box-type floating breakwater is simple and durable, which is one important type of
floating breakwaters. In this paper, a systematic experimental study on the hydrodynamic …

With the increase in global environmental problems and the energy crisis, the oscillating
wave surge converter has been extensively studied in the past decades owing to its simple …

The moon pool opened in a floating structure significantly affects its wave attenuating
performance. In this paper, the hydrodynamic behaviors of several floating breakwaters with …

Box-type floating breakwaters have been studied extensively. However, the examinations of
the performances of them with different shapes or different numbers of boxes are limited. In …

This paper proposes a new box-type breakwater with superstructure arranged near free
surface. The hydrodynamic performance of this new breakwater is studied through …

A floating breakwater can significantly reduce the wave invasion of marine structures and
provide a safe construction environment and service environment for wave attenuation …

Box-type floating breakwaters (FBs), widely used for marine protection, face challenges in
their wave dissipation capabilities. Although the effectiveness of the winglet-type floating …

In this paper, hydrodynamic characteristics of general two-dimensional rectangular floating
breakwaters (FBs) with two legs in water of finite depth and infinite domain subjected to …

In the multifunctional system consisting of point absorber wave energy converters and a
pontoon breakwater, the breakwater plays an essential role in attenuating waves on the lee …
