- Abstract
- The purpose of this study is to estimate the wave height located at the front face of the offshore refracted breakwater when the trench is dredged in the exterior region of the breakwater at various depths. The problems that arise with regard to the different obliquely incident wave field involve having two-dimensional planes and having the configuration of the trench region designated by a single horizontal rectangular system. The numerical approach involves applying the Green function based on the boundary integral approach. The results of the present numerical works are illustrated. The ratio of the wave height reduction at the front face of the refracted breakwater is shown to be more than 25% due to the trench's effect on the seabed. The corner of the refracted breakwater is where the wave energy is concentrated, and through utilizing the trench, the wave energy can be subdued to reduce the damage on the breakwater. The trench brings about a reduction in wave amplitude and wave energy in, around, and directly downstream of the trench.
