Consider the breakwater (shown below) that is being built to protect a harbour which will be dredged to a uniform depth of 9 m. NORTH COASTLINE (X m, Ym) 45° (450m, 450m) A (380.57m, 380.57m) (Om, Om) BREAKWATER NOT TO SCALE For a 3 m wave height with a wave period of 11 s coming from the E (i.e. from 90° clockwise relative to North) determine the required X and Y coordinates at the end of breakwater arm to make sure the wave height at Point A is not greater than 0.39 m. Ensure that the most cost effective solution is given (i.e. smallest breakwater length). Ignore any reflection effects in the basin. (Note: Wiegel diffraction tables are provided at the end of this paper. Assume the breakwater acts as a semi-infinite breakwater)
