Abstract
Describes laboratory experiments at one-half scale using simulated random seas and field tests at full scale of an installation of a dynamic floating breakwater system in a limited fetch situation. An analytical model is described which successfully predicted the performance of a tethered float breakwater configuration, given the incident wave spectrum. The methodology for selecting the arbitrary resistance coefficients in the predictive model is considered. Predicted and measured performance data for a total of 60 laboratory and field experiments are displayed, covering a very broad range of wave climates.
