AN ADVANCED DESIGN METHOD FOR ARMOR UNITS COVERING A RUBBLE MOUND FOUNDATION OF A COMPOSITE BREAKWATER BASED ON A WAVE INDUCED FLOW FIELD
An advanced design method for armor units covering a rubble mound foundation of a composite breakwater is proposed. The method is based on a wave induced flow field near the breakwater mound, which is calculated by a numerical wave flume CADMAS-SURF. Trial computations and comparisons with experimental results demonstrate the validity and usefulness of the proposed method.
