Proceedings Papers

Proc. ASME. OMAE2024, Volume 5A: Ocean Engineering, V05AT06A020, June 9–14, 2024
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers
Paper No: OMAE2024-125443
... Abstract There are two types of breakwater including fixed and floating. The fixed breakwater is usually used in shallow water sea area, not adapted to deep water area. In deep water area, the floating breakwater is an important type of marine equipment which can improve the work environment...

Proc. ASME. OMAE2022, Volume 5B: Ocean Engineering; Honoring Symposium for Professor Günther F. Clauss on Hydrodynamics and Ocean Engineering, V05BT06A009, June 5–10, 2022
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers
Paper No: OMAE2022-80202
... Abstract Floating breakwaters (FBW) are widely used in moderate wave climatic conditions. Literature shows that the width of a pontoon type FBW should be about 50% of the incident wavelength in order to achieve 50% wave height reduction at the lee side of the FBW. Hence, for a typical...

Proc. ASME. OMAE2011, Volume 6: Ocean Engineering, 411-418, June 19–24, 2011
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers
Paper No: OMAE2011-49505
... 01 11 2011 Due to the mobility and low costs, floating breakwaters have been frequently considered as alternatives for protecting marinas and harbors from wave attacks. Main advantages of using floating breakwaters include (i) the exchange of water between a harbor and ocean, and (ii...

... optimization of floating breakwaters. First of all, the physical and mechanical constraints, related to the environment of floating breakwaters, are expressed in terms of the geometrical dimensions of the latter in form of mathematical expressions. Then, the optimization procedure is developed based on SQP...
