TL;DR: In this article, a two-dimensional finite element model is adopted to study the behavior of pontoon-type floating breakwaters in beam waves, and the stiffness coefficients of the slack mooring lines are idealized as the linear stiffness coefficients, which can be derived from the basic catenary equations of the cable.

TL;DR: In this paper, the wave induced dynamic pressures around a circular cylinder of diameter 0.2m due to regular waves were measured in a wave flume in a water depth of 1.6m and a wave basin in a depth of 3.1m.

TL;DR: In this article, the average reflection coefficient is reported as a function of the wave steepness, described as the ratio of the significant wave height to the square of the peak period, and the results on the variation of the frequency pressure spectra along the depth and the run-up spectra are reported.

TL;DR: In this paper, a sea water intake well of size 20m diameter and 15.5m height in a water depth of 9.8m is proposed for a project to extract magnesia from sea water.

TL;DR: In this paper, the directionality of waves inside a groin field near the German coastal zone of the island of Norderney is studied in the frequency domain, where the maximum entropy method is adopted to estimate the directional spreading function.
