This study considers the motion responses of heaving point absorbers (HPAs) connected to large semi-submersibles. To analyze the motion responses for HPAs, a motion response amplitude operator (RAO) of a single HPA connected to a fixed wall was obtained in a two-dimensional wave flume. A frequency-domain eigenvalue analysis is used to evaluate the motion RAO of a single HPA, and the experimental and numerical results of motion RAO were compared. A model test was conducted to analyze the motions of multiple HPAs connected to a large semi-submersible in a 3D ocean basin. The motion RAOs of the multiple HPAs connected to the large semi-submersible were compared with the motion RAO of the single HPA connected to the fixed wall.

The effect of gradation of armour stones and the amount of rounded stones in the armour on dynamically stable breakwaters was assessed in a two-dimensional wave flume. A total of 52 series of tests were undertaken at the Coastal Engineering Research Laboratory of Queen's University, Kingston, Canada using irregular waves. Profiles of the structure during the various stages of reshaping were measured using a semiautomatic profiler developed for this study. Four gradations of armour stones were used, giving a range in uniformity coefficient of 1.35–5.4. The volume of stones and the initial berm width required for the development of a stable profile, along with the extent to which the toe of the structure progressed seaward, were chosen as representative parameters of the reshaped breakwater. The results indicated that the toe width formed as a result of reshaping and the area of stones required for reshaping were dependent on the gradation of the armour stones. The initial berm width required for reshaping was also found to be dependent on the gradation and the percentage of rounded stones in the armour. Key words: breakwaters, dynamic stability, hydraulic models, stability, armour stones.

Frequency Domain Reconstruction

This paper is concerned with a version of photoacoustic tomography, that uses line shaped detectors (instead of point-like ones) for the recording of acoustic data. The three-dimensional image reconstruction problem is reduced to a series of two-dimensional ones. First, the initial data of the two-dimensional wave equation is recovered from boundary data, and second, the classical two-dimensional Radon transform is inverted. We discuss uniqueness and stability of reconstruction, and compare frequency domain reconstruction formulas for various geometries.
