Attenuating waves by simple prismatic structures are increasingly recognised for coastal protection. Yet, evaluating their performance as good attenuators inevitably requires a reliable approach to adequately capture the dynamic interaction between waves and
structure. This paper presents a prediction on hydrodynamic properties of pile-restrained cylindrical floating breakwater using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approach. Several parameters for the effects of relative width (
