Designing Floating Wave Attenuators for Long Period Waves
Publication: Ports 2013: Success through Diversification
Abstract
The design for the Lummi Nation's fishing harbor in Washington State challenges the notion that a floating wave attenuator system cannot be used to successfully mitigate longer period waves. Designers posited that a pair of attenuators working in tandem could successfully overcome longer wave periods. This theory was then verified through three-dimensional physical model testing. By modeling and confirming the solution's validity, the designers have formulated a simple, closed-form analytical tool for planning and designing other attenuator systems that can be employed in conditions that experience wave periods up to approximately 6 seconds.
