The physical model of floating breakwater deal with the efficient decrease of wave level to protect marinas and small harbours.

Abstract

     The use of floating breakwater to protect marinas and small harbours have reasearched and applied to many countries in the world. However, the application of floating breakwater in VietNam had some limited in specific reseach . This paper deal with the efficient decrease of wave level by the experiment using a physical model, was carried out in a wave-flume at the Hydraulic Laboratory, Water Resources University. The experiment has achieved fews of considerable rusults. Therefore, floating breakwater is the scientific solution which can be applied in the reality in Viet Nam.
