“…Submerged breakwaters can be utilized for tourism and recreational purposes. There seems to be unanimous agreement that submerged breakwaters can sustain the tourism industry within a coastal community while still offering adequate beach protection ( Kuriyama and Banno, 2018 ; Nyoman et al., 2019 ; Vu et al., 2019 ). Coastal areas with submerged breakwaters can be attractive tourism destinations, since beach aesthetics are not interrupted.…”

“…In order to solve the problem of allowing sediment and water to exchange freely while still ensuring efficient dissipation of wave energy and suitable for weak soils, some researchers have proposed the use of FBs or submerged breakwaters as an appropriate solution [5][6][7]. Submerged breakwaters have been widely used in recent years.…”

A new type of floating breakwater (FB) is proposed in this paper. Its hydrodynamic performance has been tested. The structure of the newbreakwater named perforated semi-circular floating breakwater (SCFB) consists of two parts: a main body of a box-shaped base block and a semi-circular upper structure is perforated for the purpose of absorbing breaking and overtopping wave energy. A series of experiments were carried out on the new floating breakwater and traditional box floating breakwater to compare their performances. A two-dimensional wave flume was used in the experiment; the incident, transmitted, and reflected waves from the floating breakwaters were measured. Results showed that the new floating breakwater had a better performance than the traditional box floating breakwater: wave transmission was significantly reduced by the semi-circula upper part, especially for high waves.
