  An experimental investigation, conducted in unidirectional waves with different wave conditions and model configurations were conducted to assess the wave energy loss on cylinder obstacles. This study presents a significant finding on porous cylindrical model. The basic concept of porous cylinder breakwater is to serve as a pervious barrier where particle movements are more which is more environmental friendly and allow the passage of tidal currents with least disturbance where littoral drift is predominant. For the study, Two sizes of cylinder were used, 100 mm and 200 mm with four different porosities ranging from 0.0625 to 0.48 respectively. The influences of water level, wave steepness, wave number and porosities were studied. The test results shown that when the percentage of porosity decreased, more wave energy was dissipated, this resulted in the decrease in transmitted wa.. View More»
