The coastal erosion has become a critical problem for states which are facing acute
shortage of land due to high density of population. With this in mind, building coastal
structures such as groins and detached breakwaters is the best way to avoid the shore
to erode continuously. This research is to study the pattern of wave transformation
and wave energy on the breakwater area segment. This research is using software
called FLOW-3D, a computational fluid dynamics software analyzing various physical
flow processes. Several parametric of wave will be tested. This is because to show
that the wave able to change the shoreline on the area. By doing this research, we
can identify the pattern and the wave parameters which is affect by eroding the coast.
With detached of breakwaters, the shoreline will be change and erosion can be
avoided. Therefore, breakwaters are environmentally suitable to combat coastal
erosion.
