Abstract EN
The main objective of the breakwaters is to protect the port, the beach or the beach facilities from strong waves and storms, as they help to establish calm inside the port and thus achieve safety for ships, and ease of operation.
This research aims to present study unconventional alternatives to vertical breakwater.
In this study, two different models of vertical wave barriers implemented were chosen for their study and evaluation of the hydrodynamic performance.
The first model is a vertical wall with circular slots and the second model is a vertical wall with square slots.
A comparison was made between the two models it was found that the square slots reduce the transmission of waves more than circular slots by 5 to 20% .
The use of two circular slotted walls decreases wave transmission by up to 30% and increases wave energy dissipation by up to 40% as compared to a single wall.
With increasing relative length (h/L), the horizontal wave force rises.
The relative wave forces (F/Fo), at porosity ( ) =0.25, was greater than at porosity ( ) = 0.50 by 10 to 30% .
At the openings, the wave velocity is high, and the wave energy dissipation factor was also high; the higher the wave amplitude, the greater the wave energy dissipation factor.
