The Performance of an Offset Breakwater Configuration i Wind-generated Waves
A brief discussion is given of the need for floating breakwaters and of previous studies. Two configurations for a breakwater are then considered, first, a continuous rigid vertical wall, and second, a segmented rigid vertical wall with alternate segments offset a distance equal to one-half of the incident wave length. With the offset configuration the wave forces on alternate segments tend to oppose each other giving less net force on the offset wall than for a continuous wall. A simple analysis leads to equations and diagrams representing the forces for each configuration. A model of an offset configuration floating breakwater was tested in both regular mechanically generated waves and in wind generated waves. Experimentally measured wave transmission coefficients are compared with those for a continuous rigid wall and for other types of floating breakwaters. (Modified author abstract)
