Theoretical Analysis of a Vertical Cylindrical Floater in Front of an Orthogonal Breakwater

This study investigates the effect of an orthogonal-shaped reflecting breakwater on the hydrodynamic characteristics of a vertical cylindrical body. The reflecting walls are placed behind the body, which can be conceived as a floater for wave energy absorption. Linear potential theory is assumed, an...
