Abstract

Understanding the dynamic response of floating breakwaters to wave forces is essential for optimizing their design and improving coastal protection. The response amplitude operator serves as a key parameter in accurately predicting the structural response amplitudes at different frequencies and wave angles. By incorporating this knowledge, adjustments can be made to enhance the effectiveness of floating breakwaters. In this study, a comprehensive 3D model of the mooring system is developed to simulate its behavior under various wave and current conditions. The model takes into account critical design factors such as pontoon shapes, anchor types, placements, and configurations. Through simulations, valuable insights are obtained regarding the performance of the wing-plate floating breakwater mooring system across different operational settings. These findings contribute to the optimization of floating breakwaters and their ability to protect coastlines from wave impacts.
