Floating breakwaters are commonly used to protect shorelines, marine structures and harbors from wave attacks. Through the physical model test method, the wave energy dissipation performance by using porous floating cylindrical breakwater under regular waves. This research content in this paper for a horizontal cylindrical pipe with different diameters and with different percentage of porosity working as a single pipe or as a group. Which contains five different models with diameters (2 inch, 3 inch, 4 inch, (3&4 inch together) and (2, 3 & 4 inch together) by choosing different percentage of porosities (15, 30 & 50%) to achieve maximum energy dissipation with minimum transmitted energy. The experiments were carried out in a recirculating open channel flume located at the Hydraulics Engineering Laboratory, Higher Institute of Engineering in El Shorouk City.
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.
