Abstract

In general, the salient features if the floating breakwater have excellent regulation of sea-water keeping the marine a1ways clean, up and dorm free movement with the incoming and outgoing tides, capable of being installed without considering the geological condition of sea-bed at any water depth, This study discusses the three dimensional wave transformation of the floating breakwater moored by catenary. Numerical method is based at the Green function method and eigenfunction expansion method. The validity of the present is confirmed by comparing it with the result of Ijima et a1.(1975) fer tensile maxed floating breakwater. According to the numerical results, drift and width of the floating breakwater affect at the wave transformation greatly, and incident wave of long period is well transmitted to the rear of the floating breakwater.
