Question: Problem 4 ( 1 5 pts ) : a ) A shore - parallel semi - infinite rigid impermeable breakwater has been built in 4

Problem 4(15pts):
a) A shore-parallel semi-infinite rigid impermeable breakwater has been built in 4.5 m water depth to
protect boats anchored in a marina. The breakwater extends eastward from its tip. The most critical
design conditions have been measured at the tip of the breakwater and consist of waves with a height
of 1.3 m and a period of 9 s approaching the breakwater from the south-east at an angle of 15(angle
between wave crests and breakwater). Assuming straight and parallel contours of the offshore
bathymetry, calculate the deepwater wave height and angle based on shoaling and refraction only.
Include a sketch of the situation and show all calculation steps.
b) The wave is now diffracted by the breakwater. The water depth inside the marina is constant at 4.5
m . Find the wave height HD at a location inside the marina with polar coordinates
