Ever since progressive engineers came up with the idea of creating floating structures in the sea, many studies and models tests were performed in order to develop the optimal floating breakwater. Although the advantages of a floating structure seem to be rather obvious, the use of these structures is limited, mainly due to the complex hydrodynamic behaviour, the reliability and the costs of these structures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
