... is concentrated near the water free surface, breakwaters such as partially immersed twin vertical barriers were proposed (Isaacson et al., 1999), which are believed to be able to reflect the wave energy effectively. To understand physics of these breakwater concepts, many researchers have investigated the wave...

... ABSTRACT In this paper, we propose the modified mild-slope equation that is able to treat with waves scattering against a vertical barrier, ignoring the local effects. This equation includes a scattering term in terms of the reflection coefficient of a single barrier. As well as the numerical...

..., rigid, pile-supported vertical barriers which extend some distance down from the water surface have been considered or adopted. These have the advantages of allowing water circulation and sediment transport beneath the breakwater, and of being relatively economical by providing protection closer...

... ABSTRACT This paper describes application of the Volume of Fluid (VOF) method to calculate the broken solitary wave pressure on a vertical barrier. First, the model is verified for the case of solitary wave runup on the uniform sloping beach. The results are confirmed with experimental data...

.... INTRODUCTION Breakwaters are widely used to provide economical protection from waves in harbours and marinas. In certain situations, breakwaters in the form of thin, rigid, pile-supported vertical barriers which extend some distance down from the water surface have been used or considered. These have...
