An Investigation into the Scaling Confidence of Floating Tire Breakwater Model Tests.

Abstract

As outlined in the introduction, this study applies the techniques of dimensional analysis to compare the performance of a relatively new floating breakwater. In this chapter, the pertinent theoretical modeling considerations are reviewed. Additionally, floating breakwater nomenclature, their attenuation mechanisms, and the Goodyear prototype are introduced. (Author)
