Influence of breakwater on the wave field in Makarska Port
Abstract
The authors present an analysis of wave field in Makarska Port based on numerical modelling of the existing situation (without breakwater), and according to alternative solutions for the planned breakwater. The performance of breakwater with respect to wave action from W-pulenat, SW-lebić, S- oštro, and SSE-jugo, is analyzed. Based on comparison of results obtained by numerical simulation of changes in wave field, a breakwater solution ensuring optimum protection of port area against wave action is recommended. The analysis is based on the Artemis-Telemac numerical model.
