Analytical approaches and numerical tools play a significant role in the research and design
of porous and perforated breakwaters. Before a new porous or perforated breakwater …

The main objective of this research is to characterize and quantify the prevalent physical
processes in the energy transformation of a regular wave train when it interacts with …

This paper presents the stability analysis of a non-conventional breakwater cross-section
integrating an overtopping wave energy converter, named OBREC. The device consists of a …

Living shorelines are being widely implemented to mitigate shoreline erosion and provide
ecosystem services, but how they interact with waves remains poorly understood. Wave …

This study develops a calibration method for the porous media to properly model the
interaction between waves and coastal structures using VARANS models. The proposed …

Freak wave is a kind of extreme and unexpected surface wave with great wave height and
energy, which might happen in different ocean areas such as the deep-sea zone and …

This paper studies wave scattering by a periodic array of rectangular porous rubble-mound
breakwaters (bars). An analytical solution is developed based on potential flow and classical …

As a result of climate change and the ensuing accelerating sea level rise, the Ninigret
Trustom Pond beach barrier system, located along the southern shore of Rhode Island …

This paper presents a numerical study of the interaction between irregular waves and
actively controlled plate breakwater based on deep reinforcement learning (DRL), in which …

The objective of this research is to analyze the interaction of the incident wave train with a
mound breakwater (specifically, dissipation in the armor layer) and to quantify the …
