Modelling the Hydrodynamics of an L-shaped Breakwater

Author(s): S Pan, N MacDonalcf, P Sayers, J. Nicholson & B A O'Connor

Abstract:
This paper describes physical and numerical modelling of the hydrodynamics associated with an L-shaped breakwater.

The physical modelling was carried out using the UK Coastal Research Facility (UKCRF) at HR Wallingford as a part of a UK government EPSRC (Engineering and Physical Science Research Council) funded research project.

An L-shaped breakwater was built on a plain bed with 1:20 bed slope.

Normal and oblique monochromatic (MON) and long- crested random (LCR) incident waves were employed in the tests.

Measurements of waves and currents were taken around the breakwater.

A 2D wave period- averaged wave/current...
