A Laboratory Study on the Wave Distribution around Breakwater

Article Preview

Abstract:

A three-dimensional physical model was used to study the wave distribution around breakwater in Malaysia Kuantan. Model tests were carried out by using the L-type action absorption directional wave generator in a 45m×40m wave basin at TIWTE in Tianjin China. The incident wave conditions were checked first in the laboratory and a series steps were introduced to construct the bathymetry and breakwater structure. At last, the wave distribution around the breakwater with 60yrs and 100yrs wave action were given respectively. The conclusions should be used to achieve optimization of the design.
