Item International Journal of Ecology and Development: Editorial(2009) Hegde A.V.[No abstract available]Item Performance characteristics of horizontal interlaced multilayer moored floating pipe breakwater(2007) Hegde A.V.; Kamath K.; Magadum A.S.The paper presents the results of model scale experiments for the study of wave attenuation by horizontal interlaced, multilayer, moored floating pipe breakwater. A review of some significant floating breakwater models proposed by earlier investigators is included. For a floating breakwater the transmission coefficient (Kt) is influenced by relative width of the breakwater (W/L). Nondimensional graphs indicating the variation of Kt with respect to W/L (with Hi/L as a parameter for different Hi/d values) and Kt versus Hi/L (for a range of d/L values from 0.09 to 0.24) have been plotted. Further variation of Kt with relative depth d/L for different W/L values is also studied. From the experimental study and results obtained, it is found that the transmission coefficient decreases with an increase in relative breakwater width W/L and wave steepness Hi/L for all Hi/d values. In the present study it was observed that performance was better for breakwater configurations of W/L≥0.7 when compared with configurations of W/L<0.7. Further, the experimental results obtained were compared with the output of a mathematical model. From the comparison for Hi/L=0.04, values of Kt obtained from the present experiments were in agreement with those obtained from the mathematical model. © 2007 ASCE.
