Current-Field Measurement around Low-Crested Structures
Current-field measurements were done to understand hydrodynamics of low-crested structures (LCS). Drifters were used around a semi-submerged breakwater built in Lido di Dante, Italy to protect a beach nourishment and prevent erosions. Drifter tracks surveyed using radar and nautical compasses are shown together with sea conditions collected during the surveys. The field set up is described. Current patterns are described under the influence of different wave conditions and locations. Results reinforce current knowledge and model simulations.
