Effects of Cnoidal Wave-Induced Seepage on Vertical Breakwater Resting on Permeable Elastic Seabed

Article Preview

Abstract:

Theoretical investigations on cnoidal waves interacting with breakwater resting on permeable elastic seabed are presented in this paper. Based on the shallow water reflected wave theory and Biot consolidation theory on wave-induced seepage pressure, the analytical solutions to first order cnoidal wave reflection and wave-induced seepage pressure are obtained by the eigenfunction expansion approach. Numerical results are presented to show the effects of depth of water, breakwater geometry on cnoidal wave-induced seepage uplift force and overturning moment. Compared with Airy wave theory, in certain shallow water conditions, the shallow water wave theory can more effectively illustrate wave nonlinearity effect in wave load prediction.
