摘要
The physical and numerical modelling of a circular cross-section floating breakwater subjected to normal and obliquely incident regular waves is described. The transmission coefficient, breakwater motions, and mooring line forces were measured in two- and three-dimensional laboratory tests for a range of wave conditions acid breakwater parameters. The experimental results are compared with results of a numerical model based on linear two-dimensional wave diffraction theory. The performance of the breakwater is summarized and compared with that of a rectangular-section breakwater. Possible modifications to improve the breakwater's performance characteristics are considered.
