Hydrodynamic and numerical model studies on wave transmission over submerged breakwaters using reef 3D

Abstract

newline The use of coastal structures as a means to regulate offshore energy and newlinelongshore currents, with the aim of mitigating coastal erosion and sediment newlinemovement along the shoreline, is a highly effective engineering strategy for newlinesafeguarding coastal areas. The implementation of a submerged breakwater presents newlinea feasible strategy for addressing beach erosion and enhancing the safety and newlinesustainability of coastal areas. Further investigation is necessary to get a newlinecomprehensive understanding of the effect of wave transformations, namely wave newlinebreaking and diffraction, on the circulation patterns occurring behind submerged newlinebreakwaters. Prior research has primarily concentrated on the two-dimensional newlineimpacts of submerged breakwaters on their stability.
