Horizontal Coherence of Wave Forces on Vertical Wall Breakwaters
Spatial coherence of wave impact pressures at a vertical breakwater in multidirectional seas is studied as part of an EU project under the LSF-TMR programme. The lay out and programme of tests are shortly described. A method for the identification of breaking waves is presented. The percentage of breaking waves for increasing wave height are estimated and compared with existing empirical formulae. The horizontal dimension of the breaker is investigated using two different methodologies: the first analyses the decreasing of the highest 1/250 force with increasing horizontal dimension of the caisson, with special attention to the effects of wave spreading, and the second analyses the spatial correlation of impulsive force per unit length along the breakwater.
