Investigation on hydrodynamic performance of an environmentally friendly pile breakwater
TL;DR: In this paper, a pile breakwater with rows of piles is studied in a configuration that can provide an effective shore protection structure, including wave reflection and transmission, shear stresses, pressure measurements, drag and inertia coefficients.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a spatial assessment and photographic interpretation of freely available data sources, including the 2011 Tohoku Tsunami, to assess the vulnerability of port structures to high-impact but infrequent occurrences.

Flow pattern and hydrodynamic parameters of pile breakwater under solitary wave using OpenFOAM
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the hydrodynamic properties of solitary waves (resemble tsunami waves) interacting with a single-row pile breakwater using OpenFOAM to ensure the safety and hence serviceability of pile breakwaters under disastrous waves like tsunamis, an accurate estimation of wave actions exerted on them is necessary.

Experimental study on wave impulse and characteristic pressure of a vertical wall with overhanging horizontal cantilever slab
Huang Jianjun,Guoping Chen +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a vertical wall with overhanging horizontal cantilever slab in a flume with the scale factor of 1:30 was investigated, and different influences of wave height, wave period and clearance on the wave impulse and characteristic pressure were investigated.

TL;DR: In this article, a single-degree-of-freedom (SDF) dynamic system is considered, and the effect of different degrees of freedom on the dynamics of the system is investigated.

Scale effects in physical hydraulic engineering models
TL;DR: In this article, scale effects arise due to force ratios which are not identical between a model and its real-world prototype and result in deviations between the up-scaled model and prototype observations.

Breaking wave impact force on a vertical and inclined slender pile¿theoretical and large-scale model investigations
J. Wienke,Hocine Oumeraci +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the wave load is splitted into a quasi-static and a dynamic component, whereas the dynamic component is associated with the impact of a mass of water on the cylinder.

Review and analysis of vertical breakwater failures — lessons learned
TL;DR: The results suggest that the present design approaches cannot explain most of the failure modes reported, and that the stability of vertical breakwaters is an integrated and complex problem which can satisfactorily be solved only by dynamic analysis and probabilistic design approaches.
