Abstract

Pneumatic breakwater is a kind of wave energy damping structure which is capable of reducing a portion of wave energy. The structure utilizes an air bubble column deep in water to induce a counter flow which opposes the wave current resulting in damping of its energy and the height of the wave. Fast installation with the least space occupied along with posing no obstacle for shipping and maneuvering are advantages of this structures. Although the disadvantage of this method can be wasting of almost half the energy of outgoing air. Using this method, a range of waves with lower height can be achieved. To draw the most advantage out of this method, the pneumatic breakwater can be combined with Floating breakwater. In order to explore the effectiveness of Hybrid breakwater, a physical or numerical model in deeper water depth is required. Utilizing this method in coasts where other kind of ordinary breakwaters are not practical and temporarily in the vicinity of shore in deeper water is economically effective. This breakwater can be attached to the ship (DAHET) or rig (ATAB). Hybrid system creates a safe atmosphere for smooth transfer of the passengers of crew boats to and from wharf in a continuous manner even in rough sea and bad weather condition. Case study in Persian Gulf indicates that pneumatic breakwater is practical in Persian Gulf except for longitude between 51° and 57° and latitude between 24° and 28° Northern which extends from eastern north to 14 Kilometers of Parsian Coasts and 30 Kilometers of Lengeh Port and from western south to 6 Kilometers of Dubai coasts to Abuzabi and from eastern north to 12 km of Kargan port to Sirik and from western south to 130 Kilometers of eastern coasts of Qatar.

Abstract

Studying the sediments and predicting the coastal morphological changes have wide applications in coastal engineering, including coastal management, operation, and design of the structures as well as their maintenance, development, and expansion of coasts and coastal structures, which are of paramount importance. This study aims to model the shoreline changes around the Jazireh-e Shomali-Jonoubi Port, calculate the amount of advancement and recession due to the construction of the breakwater, and to determine the areas exposed to erosion and sedimentation. To this end, a series of primary information, including aerial and satellite images, hydrographic and topographic maps, and the specifications and grading of the sediment of the considered coast, has been collected and the overall morphology of the area has been determined. The input data into the model include a 12-year time series of the wave (height, period, and direction of the wave) and the wave climate. The length of the shoreline is 4 km and a profile perpendicular to the coast with a length of 1500 m has been applied to the model. Finally, using numerical modeling, the net and gross potential rates of annual and cumulative sediment transport, as well as shoreline changes after 12 years, were simulated. The effect and length of sedimentation behind the port’s breakwater after 1, 5, 10 and 12 years are 81, 190, 247 and 267 meters, respectively, which is in good agreement with the actual observations. Because the length of the breakwaters is 300 meters, the sedimentation problem has not yet been established for the port after 12 years.
