••
TL;DR: In this paper, a system which integrates an oscillating buoy type wave energy converter with a vertical pile-restrained floating breakwater is introduced, and a preliminary experimental study on the hy...

••
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used Landsat Enhanced Thematic Mapper imagery (ETM) of 2002 and aerial photography of 1955, combined with published charts and field observations were used to interpret geomorphological changes in the coastal zone between Kitchener drain and Damietta spit in the northeastern Nile delta previously recognized as a vulnerable zone to the effects of any sea-level rise resulting from global warming.

••
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of several parameters on the interaction of a solitary wave and a submerged breakwater were systematically investigated, including the incident wave height, the aspect ratio of the breakwater, and the porosity including the impermeable case.

TL;DR: In an attempt to reduce beach erosion and wave impact on a protective seawall, an experimental proprietary submerged breakwater (Reef) of 1,260 m length was installed in a water depth of approximately 3 m off the Town of Palm Beach, Florida as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the 2D scour at the trunk section of a rubble-mound breakwater was investigated with both regular and irregular waves, and the maximum scour depth was found to be smaller in the present case than that of the vertical-wall breakwater case.
