Abstract
The performances of wave dissipation, wave force and motion responses for new type breakwater are investigated in the study. Compare with the traditional breakwater, the wave dissipation effect for different new structure type are discussed, including the open plate breakwater, cylinder breakwater, pile breakwater, caisson breakwater, floating breakwater and flexible breakwater. It is found that, the new type breakwaters have advantages on wave damping, lower construction cost, convenient construction and little environment influence. Moreover, the ocean energy such as wave and offshore wind can be captured by optimizing the structure of breakwater. Therefore, it can attain the double effect of wave damping and clean energy utilization.
