The effects of reflection coefficient of the harbour sidewall on the performance of floating breakwaters
TL;DR: In this article, the interaction of linear water waves with a moored floating breakwater with a leeward boundary composed from a vertical wall is studied, and the effects of the variation of structural parameters of the breakwater on the transmitted wave height are discussed in details for various values of partial reflection.

On the modeling of wave-current interaction using the elliptic mild-slope wave equation
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of ambient currents in the prediction of nearshore wave transformation is developed through the construction of a finite-element coastal/harbor wave model based on an extended mild-slope wave-current equation that includes wave breaking.

Modeling wave and spectral characteristics of moored ship motion in Pohang New Harbor under the resonance conditions
TL;DR: In this article, an integrated mathematical model is demonstrated to investigate the wave and spectral characteristics of the moored ship motion in an irregular geometrical domain due to diffraction, refraction, and partial reflection induced by incident ocean waves.

A neural network for the prediction of wave reflection from coastal and harbor structures
TL;DR: The development of an Artificial Neural Network for the prediction of the wave reflection coefficient from a wide range of coastal and harbor structures is presented, proving that this approach is able to estimate the experimental reflection coefficients with greater accuracy than the empirical formulae calibrated on these same datasets.

The applied dynamics of ocean surface waves
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present selected theoretical topics on ocean wave dynamics, including basic principles and applications in coastal and offshore engineering, all from a deterministic point of view, and the bulk of the material deals with the linearized theory.

On the oscillations of harbours of arbitrary shape
Li-San Hwang,E. O. Tuck +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a theory is developed for calculating oscillations of harbours of constant depth and arbitrary shape, based on the solution of a singular integral equation, and numerical results have been calculated for rectangular and complex-shaped harbours.

Effects of bottom friction and boundary absorption on water wave scattering
TL;DR: In this paper, a hybrid element formulation was developed to study the oscillation of linear waves with bottom friction and boundary absorption, where bottom friction is assumed proportional to flow velocity with a phase difference, while boundary absorption adopts a condition similar to the impedance condition in acoustics.
