Experimental study demonstrates wave attenuation in floating breakwaters, indicating the role of bathymetry in nearshore conditions.

Wave attenuation improved with decreased incident wave height and period, yielding up to 11.05% attenuation.
The experimental study recorded maximum prototype-scale changes in surge, heave, and pitch, with specific amplitudes noted.
Water tank experiments assessed mooring tensions and surface pressures of streamlined-layout breakwaters with wing plates.
Findings highlight the necessity of considering bathymetry's influence on floating breakwaters for optimal performance.

Xu et al. (2025) studied this question.
