Shore Protection Using Special Perforated Breakwater with Generating Renewable Energy
Author(s): Yasser El Saie*
This paper presents an innovative vertical perforated breakwater for protecting the shoreline from sea water
wave energy and converting the transmitted water wave energy to renewable energy through vents inside the
body. This structure is composed of a vertically faced rectangular shape with a number of vents that differ from
some ratios of porosities tested first as a wave energy dissipater by warning the wave height sensors before
and after the seawall and analyzing the total energy transmitted to push it to an innovative system producing
renewable electric energy by adapting the location of these vents and changing the dimensions of these holes in
three models with dimensions (8 × 4, 4 × 4, and 7 × 6, respectively, dimensions in cms). By choosing five heights
of water depths (15, 19, 23, 27 and 31 cms) and four eccentricities of the wave maker.. View More»
