Long-wave transmission through porous breakwaters Academic Article

abstract

• An analytical model for the study of wave transmission through porous breakwaters is developed. The analysis is based on the principles of harmonic treatment of linearized long-wave equations. Wave motion within the porous structure is simulated both by Darcy and Dupuit-Forchheimer types of flow. The model includes the effects of damping due to bottom friction, and provides a more realistic presentation of the breakwater characteristics. A comparison with other existing theories and experimental data shows satisfactory agreement. 1987.
