2D Experimental Modelling of Hydrodynamic Effects of Submerged Breakwaters
Laboratory 2D experiments have been carried out in 3 m wide wave flume to investigate wave transmission, wave induced-setup and current over submerged breakwater/reef structures. This paper is aimed at advancing the understanding of overtopping flow across submerged breakwater with different crest widths under different submergences. The experiments have been carried out in a central 1m wide channel so as to minimize/prevent return flow over the structure. Analysis of data shows that flux is most influenced by breakwater crest width rather than other variables. The models provided by Symonds et al. and Gourlay and Colleter are investigated for calculating current passing over the breakwater/reef due to wave breaking. With adjustment to the calibration factors and modification of models predictive capabilities are improved.
