Iterative multi-domain BEM solution for water wave reflection by perforated caisson breakwaters. (English) Zbl 1403.76093

Summary: This study develops a full solution for water wave reflection by a partially perforated caisson breakwater with a rubble mound foundation using multi-domain BEM (boundary element method). Regular and irregular waves are both considered. A quadratic pressure drop condition on caisson perforated wall is adopted, and direct iterative calculations are performed. Due to the use of quadratic pressure drop condition, the effect of wave height on the energy dissipation by the perforated wall is well considered. This study also develops an iterative analytical solution for wave reflection by a partially perforated caisson breakwater on flat bottom using matched eigenfunction expansion method. The reflection coefficients calculated by the multi-domain BEM solution and the analytical solution are in excellent agreement. The present calculated results also agree reasonably well with experimental data from different literatures. Suitable values of discharge coefficient and blockage coefficient in the quadratic pressure drop condition are recommended for perforated caissons. The effects of the wave steepness, the blockage coefficient of perforated wall and the relative wave chamber width on the reflection coefficient are clarified. The present BEM solution is simple and reliable. It may be used for predicting the reflection coefficients of perforated caisson breakwaters in preliminary engineering design.
