The Dolos, a new type of armour unit which closely resembles a normal ship's anchor, was developed and tried out under field conditions on the main breakwater of East London harbour. Since these full-scale Dolosse proved very successful, tests were made in a wave channel to compare the stability of Dolosse with other known types of armour blocks. The test results showed that the Dolos is outstandingly stable, and since manufacture and random placing of Dolosse offers no particular difficulties it is concluded that in many cases the use of Dolosse in armour layers may lead to more economical solutions for rubble mound breakwater and shore protection works.

Traditional Structures

The Overtopping BReakwater for Energy Conversion (OBREC) is a new typology of overtopping wave energy converter (OTD) integrated into a traditional rubble mound breakwater. The device can be considered as an innovative non-conventional breakwater that has the same functions as the traditional structures with the added-valued of the energy production. The paper presents a comprehensive overview of the OBREC, offering a synthesis of the complete design process, from the results of the two complementary test campaigns in small scale carried out in 2012 and 2014 at Aalborg University, to the description of the full-scale device installed in Naples in 2016. The device represents the first OTD device in full-scale integrated into an existing rubble mound breakwater and it has been equipped by an instrumental apparatus to measure its response to the wave interaction. The monitoring of the full-scale device in the port of Naples, particularly during storm conditions, is aimed to study the scaling effects in wave loading and the overall performance of this breakwater-integrated OTD, included performance in terms of the energy production.

Perforated Caisson

A Jarlan-type perforated caisson consisted of a perforated front wall, a solid rear wall, and a wave-absorbing chamber between them. The wave-absorbing chamber was the main feature of the perforated caisson, and its width had a great effect on wave attenuation performance. In this study, a larger range of the wave-absorbing chamber width was observed in model experiments to investigate the effect on wave attenuation performance including the reflection coefficients and the horizontal wave forces of a perforated caisson sitting on a rubble-mound foundation. A resistance-type porosity numerical model based on the volume-averaged Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (VARANS) equations was validated by comparing the present results with those of previously reported and present experiments. The validated numerical model was then used for extended research. It was found that the reflection coefficients, the total horizontal wave force, and its components all tended to oscillate in a decrease ⟶ increase ⟶ decrease manner with increasing the wave-absorbing chamber width. The reflection coefficients and wave forces acting on both sides of the perforated front wall were found to be synchronized regardless of perforation ratio or the rubble-mound foundation height.
