Attenuation of Wind-generated Deep Water Waves by Pneumatic and Hydraulic Breakwaters
Objectives of this investigation were: (1) To determine the operational characteristics of two devices--one hydraulic and the other pneumatic--in a wind-generated wave environment; and (2) to develop insight into the physical mechanism by which waves are attenuated by these devices. The breakwater devices were tested separately and also in tandem configurations. Data collection included power input to the breakwaters, continuous water surface profiles on both sides of the breakwaters, and current velocity profiles produced by each device. Data analysis yielded wave statistics and energy spectra which were employed in the evaluation of breakwater performance. Results show that the pneumatic breakwater is slightly more effective for attenuating deep water waves than the hydraulic breakwater under the same operating conditions. (Modified author abstract)
