Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex interaction between porous rubble-mound breakwaters and the waves they encounter, providing a theoretical framework for understanding their reflection and transmission characteristics. The author begins by establishing the fundamental assumptions that…underpin the analysis, namely, the occurrence of relatively long, normally incident waves and the validity of linearized governing equations. Adopting a novel approach, the book presents an explicit analytical solution for the reflection and transmission coefficients of rectangular breakwaters, expressing these coefficients in terms of physical parameters such as stone size, porosity, and incident wave characteristics. Furthermore, the author introduces empirical relationships to account for the hydraulic properties of the porous material, enabling engineers to predict the behavior of breakwaters under various conditions. The book's significance lies in its ability to bridge the gap between theoretical analysis and practical applications. By providing a comprehensive understanding of wave-structure interaction, it empowers engineers to design breakwaters more effectively, ensuring their stability and performance under real-world conditions.
