A study of breakwater gap wave diffraction using close range photogrammetry and finite and infinite elements.

In this thesis the diffraction of water waves passing through a gap in a breakwater is investigated experimentally, using close range photogrammetry, and numerically, using finite and infinite elements. The author was particularly interested in validating specific breakwater gap diffraction diagrams...
