A caisson breakwater may experience various modes of motions under wave action. The elementary motion modes are classified into two categories, i.e. the horizontal and rotational vibration coupled motion and the horizontal slide and rotational vibration coupled motion. The motion modes of caisson will transform from one to another depending on the wave forces and the motion behaviours of a caisson. The numerical models of the two motion modes of caisson are developed, the numerical simulation procedure for joint motion process of the two modes of caisson breakwater under wave excitation is presented and tested by a physical model experiment. It is concluded that the simulation procedure is reliable and can be applied to the dynamic stability analysis of caisson breakwaters.
