Abstract:
The paper presents the results of a detailed two
dimensional model investigation of a rubble mound breakwater
armoured with Hollow Block (HOBO) concrete armour units,
with respect to the hydraulic performance. The results of the
model investigations are analysed to obtain graphical and
numerical relationships between the energy dissipation, wave
reflection, energy transmission, wave steepness, wave period,
Iribarren number and the section properties of the breakwater.
