Attenuation of Waves by Doubly Arranged Oscillating Breakwater

Abstract

Doubly arranged semi-floating breakwater is proposed. Two bodies are hanged from water bottom with hinged rod, and connected each other by a resilient rod for interaction of wave forces.
Transmission of waves, motion of bodies and forces on bottom are examined on theoretical model and experimental study. It is shown that coefficient of wave transmission and wave forces are much less than these of fixed body.
