DIFFRACTION THROUGH BREAKWATERS UNDER

WIDE SUBMERGED OBLIQUE WAVES

A. G. ABUL-AZM Irrigation and Hydraulics Department, Faculty of Engineering, Cairo University, Giza, Egypt Abstract--The eigenfunction expansion method is used to develop a theoretical solution for the flow field caused by monochromatic oblique waves incident upon an infinitely long, submerged, wide and vertical breakwater situated in arbitrary water depth. The breakwater is assumed to be uniform in the y-direction, rigid and impermeable, and the fluid motion is idealized as linearized, two-dimensional potential flow. Numerical results are presented to show the effect of different wave and structural parameters on the transmitted and reflected waves and the hydrodynamic loadings on the breakwater. The accuracy of the solution is verified by comparing the numerical results with the available theoretical or experimental results. Two different simplified solutions for the problem are presented under the approximation of planewaves and under the assumption of long oblique waves.

INTRODUCTION

THE MAIN function of a breakwater is to protect the shoreward area in the leeside of the structure by reflecting or breaking the incident waves. Offshore, construction of a conventional type breakwater--which extends above the highest expected sea level-may have some drawbacks, such as the high construction cost and the obstruction of the view, particularly in front of a pleasure beach or a marina. A wide submerged breakwater may be used to overcome these advantages, and if properly designed, it may significantly reduce the wave energy near shore. Recently, submerged breakwaters have been constructed in prone areas to replace coral reefs in controlling beach erosion or as permanent headlands for the formation of crenulate beaches; see Silvester (1976). Wave propagation over various two-dimensional underwater structures has been widely studied. SoUitt and Cross (1972) and Madsen (1983) have considered the dissipation of wave energy inside rectangular, emerged and porous structures under normal wave incidence. Sulisz (1985) solved the problem for arbitrary cross-section and Dalrymple et al. (1991) have utilized the eigenfunction method to show that for oblique waves incident upon a vertical porous structure, the reflection and transmission coefficients are significantly altered. Wave propagation over sloping and submerged breakwaters has also been studied analytically by Kobayashi and Wurtanjo (1989) and Sabuncu and Goren (1992), who presented an approximate method based on representing the smooth slope by a stepwise geometry and matching the boundary conditions at each step. The problem of a rigid, thin, submerged and impermeable barrier, which does not take into consideration the width effect, has been studied theoretically by many investigators, such as Dean (1945) in the case of infinitely deep water, and Johnson 683

A, G. ABuL-AZM

et al. (1951), who provided an approximate solution based on equating the incident

and the transmitted wave powers, and presented experimental results for a submerged rectangular breakwater. Recently, Abul-Azm (1993) presented a solution to determine the flow field around different types of thin, rigid and submerged breakwaters. The method used was the eigenfunction technique together with the least-squares method for the solution of the mixed boundary condition. This method is proven to be analytically straightforward and numerically efficient, as shown by Dalrymple and Martin (1990) in predicting the wave reflection for a long linear array of offshore detached breakwaters. The effectiveness of rigid, wide and submerged breakwaters to dissipate wave energy had been studied experimentally by Hall and Hall (1940), Dick and Brebner (1968), Dattatri et al. (1978) and Abdul Khader and Rai (1980). Jeffreys (1944) had presented an approximate analytical expression to compute the wave transmission through wide submerged breakwaters situated in shallow waters. In this paper the eigenfunction expansion method is adopted to estimate the flow potential around a rigid, impermeable, wide rectangular and submerged breakwater subjected to oblique waves. Numerical results for the transmission coefficients are compared with the experimental results of Jeffreys (1944), Dattatri et al. (1978) and Abdul Khader and Rai (1980). Further numerical results are presented to show the effect of different wave and structural parameters on the transmission coefficient, reflection coefficient and the hydrodynamic horizontal and vertical forces on the breakwater. Simplified analytical solutions are presented using the plane-wave approximation and the long wave assumption. Numerical results obtained from the approximation methods are used to illustrate the validity of the solutions. THEORETICAL FORMULATION The geometry of the submerged breakwater under investigation is depicted in Fig. 1. The system is idealized as two-dimensional, and Cartesian coordinates are employed. The breakwater is assumed to be rigid and impermeable, and has a width W and height h above the sea-bed. The z-axis is directed vertically upwards from an origin on the sea-bed in water of arbitrary depth d. The fluid domain is divided into three regions: region (1) for x - 0, region 2 for x --- W and region (3) for 0 < x < W. The breakwater is subjected to an incident train of regular, monochromatic, small amplitude waves of height H and frequency (o, obliquely propagating with an angle 0 measured anticlockwise from the positive x-direction as shown in Fig. 1. The fluid is assumed to be inviscid, incompressible and the motion is irrotational. The velocity potential ( x , y , z , t ) can be expressed as (oH

i = 1,2,3

where Re is the real part of the complex expression and ko is the wave number which is related to the angular frequency through the dispersion relation (o2 = gko tanhkod. Here it should be noted that the y-variation of the solution must be the same in each region (Snell's Law)--see Dalrymple et al. (1991)--in order to later satisfy the matching condition at each vertical interface. The fluid velocity vector is given by qi = V~i; then the following boundary-valueproblem is obtained in each region i = 1,2,3 (Sarpkaya and Isaacson, 1981) as follows:

In Equations (7a) and (7b), Ao and Bo represent the complex reflection and transmission coefficients which will be denoted by R and T, respectively. In order to obtain R and T, Equation (7a) is differentiated with respect to x and x is set to 0, and then both sides are multiplied by Zq(z), q = 0,1,2,..., and integrated over [0,d]. Utilizing the fact that Zm(Z) and Zq(z), m, q = 0,1,2 .... are orthogonals between [0, d], it yields:

where (d Nq = Jo ~q(z) dz

q = 0,1,....

(11)

Applying the matching condition (5a) and the structural condition (5c), and carrying out the integration, Equation (10) becomes

Aq = ~oq W ~qNq p~..o = ( Dpe-XpW - Cp) ~.pTpq,

q = 0,1,...

(12)

in which ~oq is the Kronecker delta, and the term Tpq is defined as

p,q = 0,1,....

We then multiply both sides of Equation (14) by Qp(z) and integrate between [0,h], noting the orthogonality between the eigenfunctions Qm(z) and Qp(z) between [0,h]. The matching condition (5b) is now applied and the integration is carried out. Equation (14) becomes: 1(

Explicit expressions for No, Tpq and Sp defined in Equations (11), (13) and (16), respectively, are given in the Appendix. At the second interface, x = W, the same procedure will be followed and the matching conditions and the structural condition in Equation (6) are utilized. This will give a relation between the unknown coefficients B,n, Cm and Din, m = 0,1,2 ..... which is written as:

Equations (19a) and (19b) now constitute two infinite simultaneous equations for the potential coefficients A m and Bm, m = 0,1,2,.... These equations may be truncated after a finite number of terms and the coefficients obtained by a standard matrixsolving technique. The pressure P at any point in the fluid may be written as P = -p~bt, where p is the fluid density. Then the total hydrodynamic force in the x-direction per unit length of the breakwater is given by Fx = f~ ipto [~l(0,z) - ~z(W,Z)] dz.

(22a)

Similarly the force component per unit length of the breakwater in the positive zdirection is given by: F~ = fow - ipo~~3(x,h) dx.

(22b)

PLANE WAVE APPROXIMATION In this approximation, only the most progressive mode of all modes in each region is used to satisfy the matching condition. The wave numbers ko in regions (1) and (2) and 13oin region (3) will be considered. In each region the velocity potential is simplified to: ePl = Z o ( z ) {e iko~°~° + R e -ikox~°~°}

iToo Co = { ( l + R ) e x o w - T} 2sin(iXoW)

(26a)

iTo Do = { TeXoW - ( I + R ) } 2sin(iXooW)"

(26b)

In Equation (24), R and T are functions of the structural admittance parameter A which depends on the submergence ratio h/d and 0 and the parameters a and b, which represent the breakwater width and the angle of wave attack, respectively. As h ~ 0, the function A ~ 1 and R ~ 0 independently of W. As 0 ~ 90°, h ~ ~ and ]R] 1 and [7] ~ 0. Here it should be noted that this approximate solution satisfies approximately the energy conservation law. This is due to the negligence of the evanescent modes, which are essential to satisfy the matching conditions. LONG WAVE APPROXIMATION In the case of the shallow water limit of the plane wave approximation, no evanescent modes are needed to satisfy the matching condition. The horizontal velocity of the long waves may be safely assumed to be uniform over the water depth. For oblique waves and when koW "~ 1 and hoW ~ 1, the function A 2 ~ 1 could be neglected. The following expressions are obtained for R and T: 1

R - I+(2A/XoW)

(27a)

and

T=

(2A/XoW) I+(2A/XoW).

(27b)

Here it is seen that the conservation of energy is satisfied, that is, R + T = 1 and IRI2 + 17]2 = 1 (Twersky, 1962). NUMERICAL RESULTS AND DISCUSSION In this section, numerical results are presented to illustrate the effect of different wave and structural parameters on the wave reflection, wave transmission and the hydrodynamic loads on the breakwater. In obtaining the numerical results presented herein the infinite summations in the expressions of the potentials were truncated after N terms. The simultaneous system of Equations (19a) and (19b) was solved using a truncation parameter that satisfies the conservation of energy relation within an error of O(10-5). Generally, N = 25 terms was found to give satisfactory results for all the numerical examples considered. Dimensionless parameters used in this section are as follows: submergence ratio h/d, the wave length parameter kod, width ratio W/d, wave length to water depth ratio Lo/d and wave steepness H/Lo. Forces are nondimensionalized by F' = 9gdH/2. The magnitude of the transmission coefficient IT] is presented for different wave and structural parameters in Figs 2-6. Numerical results are compared to those obtained analytically by Jeffreys (1944) for shallow water, and the experimental results obtained

In Fig. 2, the numerical results of the present method for normal wave incidence agree reasonably well with the experimental data points of Johnson et al. (1951). In this case/Cod = 0.666, W/d -- 0.368 and the wave steepness H/L o = 0.0195. Here it should be noted that in the experiment the wave steepness, which was not included in the context of the present linearized theory, has a significant effect--particularly as h/d increases. The experiments also consider the wave transmission due to overtopping for h/d > 1. For the same wave steepness and water depth, the width of the breakwater has increased as for the data in Figs 3 and 4, at which W/d = 0.66 and 0.991,

FIG. 3. Comparisonof transmissioncoefficientsobtained by Jeffreys' theory and experiments: kod = 0.666, W/d = 0.66 and H/Lo = 0.0195. respectively. A sharply tuned peak, in both the present model and in Jeffreys' results as described by Wiegel (1964), is noted to occur at h i d = 0.98 and 0.95 in Figs 3 and 4, respectively. Compared to Figs 3 and 4, Fig. 5 shows a fairly good agreement with the experimental results obtained for higher wave steepness H / L o = 0.0295, shallower water kod = 0.861 and W / d = 0.664. Figure 6(a) and (b) shows that the present model results are closer to the experimental results of Abdul Khader and Rai (1980) and Dattatri et al. (1978) than those of Jeffreys. Figures 7-9 show the magnitude and phase of the reflection coefficient obtained from the present model against kod, for different values of W / d , 0 = 0 and h i d = 0.25, 0.05 and 0.75, respectively. The transmission coefficient was only shown in Fig. 9. In that case for h i d = 0.75, the reflection increases due to the increase of the breakwater height, and the transmission is decreased accordingly. Results for W / d = 0.01 are compared with those obtained by Abul-Azm (1993) for a thin, submerged and impermeable breakwater, that is, W / d = 0, using a different method, to check the correctness of the present solution. Figures 7-9 show that for a constant value of h/d, the reflection magnitude increases as W / d increases. Resonance occurs at some wave frequencies at which IR[ = 0, that is, the wave does not feel the breakwater, and a corresponding 180° change of phase is noticeable.

FIG. 4. Comparison of transmission coefficientsobtained by Jeffreys' theory and experiments: kod = 0.666, W/d = 0.991 and H/Lo = 0.0195. Figure 10 shows the magnitude and phase of the horizontal and vertical forces per unit length of the breakwater. As kod--> O, the nondimensional vertical force approaches the value of W/d. The effect of the wave angle 0 on IR[ and ITI is shown in Fig. 11, for different values of kod, W / d and h/d -- 0.25, 0.5 and 0.75. At some values of 0, IR[ will be equal to zero, with a corresponding increase in IT[ = 1, and as the wave becomes parallel to the breakwater, the reflection [R I becomes unity. This has been shown previously by many investigators (see, for example, Dalrymple et al., 1991). Figures 12 and 13 show the reflection coefficient as a function of kod, for some chosen values of 0, h/d and W/d. Of note is the general increase in IRI as 0 increases and the shift in the resonance point on the kod axis as the wave angle changes. The expression derived for the plane-wave approximation will now be discussed to aid the understanding of the reasons beyond the occurrence of the resonance points and the corresponding sharp peaks of the transmission. Equation (24a) shows that the reflection will equal zero in one of two independent conditions: IAI equals 1.0, which represents the admittance coefficient of the structure, or when the angle termed (ikoW) -- n~, n -- 1,2 .... , which depends on the structure width and the angle of wave attack.

Figures 14 and 15 show the results obtained by the two approximate solutions compared to the full solution results. For deep water, that is, small values of Lo/d, the plane-wave approximation gives a good estimate for the full solution results. This is particularly seen when the structure is small compared to the wave, which might be
