Floating breakwater

Abstract

The invention discloses a floating breakwater. The floating breakwater comprises a plurality of floating bodies, and the floating bodies are installed through anchoring structures; a plurality of pipe holes are formed in each floating body, and wave dissipation steel pipes are arranged in the pipe holes; every two adjacent floating bodies are connected; telescopic dampers are installed between every two adjacent floating bodies through connection supports; rotary dampers are installed between every two adjacent floating bodies in a butt joint mode through connectors. According to the floating breakwater, the kinetic energy of waves is eliminated through the dampers connected between the floating bodies, the waves generate turbulent water flow on the steel pipes densely arranged on the floating bodies, the water head movement is disturbed, the energy of the waves on the surface layer is dissipated through friction between water and turbulence, and the wave dissipation effect is good; the steel pipes of different lengths, diameters and numbers and the connected floating bodies of different numbers can be flexibly adopted for adapting to the different wave conditions. In addition, the floating breakwater is simple in structure, convenient to maintain and wide in application range and cannot be easily damaged after collision.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of wave prevention engineering, in particular to a floating breakwater. Background technique [0002] The research and experiments of wave theory show that the energy of waves is concentrated on the surface of the water body, and 98% of the total wave energy is concentrated in the water depth range of three times the wave height below the water surface. The use of materials for breakwaters in traditional structural forms is completely incompatible with the distribution of wave energy. For example, the slope type breakwater uses the least material in the place where the wave energy is most concentrated, but consumes a lot of material in the place where the wave energy is the smallest. With the increase of the depth of the water area of ​​the project, the cost of the project has increased sharply, and the construction has become very difficult. Moreover, the circulation of water bodies in the region will be ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] The wave dissipation effect of the floating breakwater is mainly related to W / L (width of floating body / wavelength) and h / d (height of floating body / water depth). Therefore, for different sea areas, the structural size of the floating breakwater needs to be designed according to the specific wave conditions on site. Floating breakwaters of one structural size can only be used for a single wave condition, resulting in multiple repeated designs for similar projects

At the same time, due to the complex anchoring equipment and poor reliability of the floating breakwater, after a period of wave action, the box or floating row will be damaged due to mutual collision, and the structure of the above floating breakwater also has the problem of difficult maintenance and replacement.
