TLDR
In this article, an approximate solution to conventional rubble mound breakwater designs is formulated in terms of an equivalent rectangular breakwater with an additional consideration for wave breaking, and experimental and theoretical results are compared and evaluated.Abstract:
A theory is derived to predict ocean wave reflection and transmission at a permeable breakwater of rectangular cross section. The theory solves for a damped wave component within the breakwater and matches boundary conditions at the windward and leeward breakwater faces to predict the reflected and transmitted wave components. An approximate solution to conventional rubble mound breakwater designs is formulated in terms of an equivalent rectangular breakwater with an additional consideration for wave breaking. Experimental and theoretical results are compared and evaluated.read more

Finite element modeling of net panels using a consistent net element
TL;DR: In this paper, a consistent finite element is proposed to model the hydrodynamic response of net panels to environmental loading, which can reproduce the drag, buoyancy, inertial and elastic forces exerted on the netting by current and waves.

TL;DR: In this article, the Navier-Stokes equation is applied as a basis for the derivations of porosity in coarse granular media with special concern given to the variation of the flow resistance with the porosity.

3-D non-breaking regular wave interaction with submerged breakwaters
TL;DR: In this article, the transformation and interaction of regular wave trains with submerged permeable structures is modeled using an eigenfunction expansion 3D model and a 2D model based on a mild-slope equation for porous media to account for breakwater slope.

Turbulent Flow in Porous Media
TL;DR: In this paper, an equation applicable for both laminar and turbulent flow in porous media has been developed and experimentally verified, which expresses the pressure drop per unit length as a function of the absolute viscosity and mass density of the fluid and the macroscopic velocity.

Wave reflection and transmission at permeable breakwaters
TL;DR: In this paper, three breakwater configurations are considered: (1) crib style breakwaters with vertical walls and homogeneous fill, (2) conventional trapezoidal shape breakwater with layered fill, and (3) pile array breakwaters composed of vertical piles placed in symmetric patterns.
Wave transmission by overtopping
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a theory for ocean wave transmission past breakwaters by overtopping, based on an evaluation of the energy content of the over-topping water.

Field study of wave transmission through a rubble-mound breakwater
TL;DR: In this article, the wave characteristics at Monterey Breakwater were studied by analyzing synchronized wave records of three underwater sensors judiciously placed, two to seaward and one to landward of the breakwater.
