The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of a sloping float (or inclined pontoon) breakwater with respect to expected wave climate for protection of small commercial vessels and yatch marinas. A two-dimensional model study was carried out for regular waves in intermediate water depths.

A floating breakwater produces less environmental impact, but is easily destroyed by large waves. In this paper, the spar buoy floating breakwater is introduced with a study on the wave reflection and transmission characteristics and mooring line tension induced by the waves.

The hydroelastic responses of a very-long floating structure (VLFS) placed behind a reverse Tshape freely floating breakwater with a built-in oscillating water column (OWC) chamber are analyzed in two dimensions. The Bernoulli-Euler beam equation is coupled with the equations of rigid and elastic mo
