Description 722-728
Present study consists part of the series of physical model scale
experiments conducted for the study of the transmission characteristics of
horizontal interlaced multi-layer moored floating pipe breakwater (HIMMFPB). Studies
were conducted on physical models of the floating breakwater with three layers
of PVC pipes, wave steepness, Hi/gT2 (Hi=incident
wave height, g=acceleration due to gravity and T=wave period) varying from 0.063
to 0.936; relative width, W/L (W=width of the breakwater) varying from 0.4 to
2.65 and relative spacing of pipes, S/D=2 (S=horizontal c/c spacing of pipes
and D=diameter of the pipes). Transmitted wave height is measured and the
collected data is analyzed by plotting non-dimensional graphs depicting the
variation of Kt (transmission coefficient) with Hi/gT2for
various values of d/W (d=water depth) varying from 0.082 to 0.276 and Kt
with W/L for different values of Hi/d which was varied from 0.06 to
0.450. It is observed that Kt decreases as Hi/gT2
increases for the range of d/W values used in the study. It is also observed
that Kt decreases with an increase in W/L for the range of Hi/d
values used. Maximum wave attenuation achieved in the study with the present
breakwater configurations is 78.62%.
