Publications
-  2024.02.11 Reefense: Design Considerations in Developing Low-Crested Structures with Reef Restoration for Coastal Defense2024 Ocean Sciences MeetingThis paper discusses the design considerations in developing low-crested structures with reef restoration for coastal defense. It presents the concept of Reefense.
-  2024.02.11 Quantifying Wave Energy Dissipation in Perforated Breakwater Structures: An Experimental Study with Porous Hexagonal SEAHIVE Configurations2024 Ocean Sciences MeetingThe paper explores the significance of wave energy dissipation for coastal protection, focusing on experimental investigations with solid and perforated breakwater structures. Specifically, it delves into the efficacy of SEAHIVE® hexagonal prismatic units, highlighting the superior wave energy dissipation of perforated designs. Through parametric analysis of hydrodynamic variables, the study aims to optimize configurations for efficient coastal protection, emphasizing the importance of understanding wave-structure interaction dynamics for addressing coastal challenges.
