Effectiveness of low-crested (submerged) breakwater in wave attenuation

Nowadays, submerged offshore breakwater has been constructed widely all over the world as one of the coastal protection scheme. The main purpose is to attenuate incoming wave and thus alter the wave condition on the lee side. This research deals with low crested (submerged) offshore breakwater. T...
