Modelling of wave loads and hydraulic performance of vertical permeable structures

TL;DR: Using an eigenfunction expansion method, the potential flow around and inside vertical porous breakwaters has been solved for regular waves in this paper, where analytical expressions for functional performance variables (reflection, transmission and dissipation) and for stability (horizontal and vertical forces including the corresponding overturning moments) have been obtained.

Laboratory Tests on the Reflection Coefficient of a Perforated Caisson

TL;DR: In this paper, a perforated vertical wall caisson has been tested with both irregular and regular waves, reproducing mild wave conditions and design wave conditions, and the effect of the wave obliquity and of the short crestedness on the reflection coefficient is discussed.

ARPEC: A novel staggered perforated permeable caisson breakwater for wave absorption and harbour flushing

TL;DR: The ARPEC as discussed by the authors is an anti-reflection PErmeable Caisson breakwater that allows a significant wave energy dissipation and a hydraulic connection between the sea side and the port side by means of a labyrinthine pattern of offset openings.

Modélisation numérique du comportement hydraulique des caissons Jarlan

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a modelisation, par la methode des elements finis, des phenomenes les plus pertinents, visant a determiner a chaque instant l'allure du plan d'eau dans le voisinage immediat de l'ensemble des parois compo-sant l'ouvrage, afin de pouvoir calculer dans une phase ulterieure, les efforts locaux et glo-baux s'exercant sur la structure.
