Experimental study on the wave dissipation performance of a perforated semi-circular floating breakwater

This paper introduces a new modified type of FB. Series of two-dimensional wave flume experiments were carried out to investigate the wave attenuation of the new modified type of FB. Research on the physical model of FBs focuses on the wave transmission, wave reflection and wave energy dissipation under random wave conditions. Comparative tests were also carried out between the new modified type of FB and the traditional box FB.
