An experimental study of a floating breakwater with asymmetric pneumatic chambers for wave energy extraction
TL;DR: In this article, a configuration of floating breakwater with asymmetric pneumatic chambers was proposed to increase the amplitude of the oscillating air-pressures inside both chambers over a wide range of wave frequency (thus to improve the performance in wave energy extraction).

A simplified analytical model for a floating breakwater in water of finite depth
TL;DR: In this article, the performance of a box-type floating breakwater is studied and an analytical solution of the two-dimensional linearized hydrodynamic problem is presented. But the results of the analytical results were not compared with a numerical solution of a full linear problem.
