Floating breakwaters significantly reduce lateral and longitudinal loads on offshore wind foundations, enhancing stability.
Analysis showed that maximum lateral load attenuation is seen with increased breakwater density, highlighting its effectiveness.
The study employed high-fidelity numerical simulations to assess wave load reductions under various conditions and setups.
Findings suggest optimized design strategies for floating breakwaters may improve safety and performance in challenging offshore environments.
