Abstract

This paper describes physical and numerical modelling of the hydrodynamics associated with an L-shaped breakwater. The physical modelling was carried out using the UK Coastal Research Facility (UKCRF) at HR Wallingford as a part of a UK government EPSRC (Engineering and Physical Science Research Council) funded research project. An L-shaped breakwater was built on a plain bed with 1:20 bed slope. Normal and oblique monochromatic (MON) and long- crested random (LCR) incident waves were employed in the tests. Measurements of waves and currents were taken around the breakwater. A 2D wave period- averaged wave/current
