摘要：

The hydrodynamic performance characteristics of a floating pipe breakwater (FPBW) model (row of pipes separated by a distance equivalent to the pipe diameter) moored to the flume floor with slack moorings has been investigated in random waves through an experimental programme. The tests have been conducted on three models each with pipes of different diameter. The average reflection and transmission coefficients are evaluated from measurements and reported as a function of relative breakwater width. The motion responses, as well as the variations in the forces on the seaside and lee side mooring lines, are also presented. In addition, statistical analysis has been carried out to prove that the heave and surge motions, as well as the peak mooring forces, follow the Raleigh distribution. The details of the models, set-up, experimental procedure and analysis of results are presented and discussed. © 2003 Institution of Mechanical Engineers.
