zeky Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 In CGWAVE, you can assign boundary conditions only as reflection coefficient, but I wonder how close is assigning the floating barrier for the permeable structure, e.g. for baffled breakwater?

John Howlett Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Page 40 of the CGWAVE manual (August 1998) describes the equations used for floating docks within the computational domain - formulation of Tsay & Liu (1983). I suppose a floating barrier could be used to dissipate energy, but I can't think of why you would want to use that approach rather than a reflection coefficient. - John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it is buffled breakwater, it is very close to fixed floating dock, so I wonder if there is some experimental data about that....
