Floating breakwaters are an effective solution for protecting fragile beaches from being
washed away, coastlines from erosion, floating structures, marinas and ports from strong …

Wave energy converters (WECs) integrated into floating breakwaters or, more generally,
their designs also used as wave absorbers can provide a space-and cost-sharing solution to …

Hinged arrays have garnered increasing interest due to their potential to provide flexible and
adaptable solutions for the various challenges faced in ocean development. The …

The use of a simple, inexpensive, and effective type of floating breakwater is increasingly
becoming a necessity in shoreline and marine structure protection. This study concerns the …

Within the EU-funded Space@ Sea project, a standardized floating solution for offshore
space was developed, and modularity was one of the key elements. Computational tools …

To account for nonlinear wave–structure interaction, mooring dynamics and the associated
viscous flow effects, a coupled mooring–viscous flow solver was formerly developed and …

In the present paper, linear hydroelastic analysis is performed for the assessment of the
behavior of a Flexible Floating Breakwater (FFB), which represents not only a structure for …

In this paper,“wet” hydroelastic analysis is performed in order to investigate numerically the
hydroelastic performance of a free, flexible, mat-shaped Floating Breakwater (FB) that …

As a kind of marine plant, kelp plays an important role in the improvement of marine
environment. In addition, kelp arrays exhibit a great potential for wave attenuation. In this …

Interaction of surface gravity waves with multiple vertically moored surface-piercing
membrane breakwaters in finite water depth is analyzed based on the linearized theory of …
