ABSTRACT:
This patent consists of an INTEGRATED, MULTIPHASE, ENERGY-DISSIPATING ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEM, applicable in forming sheltered port and coastal areas. Its channels and basins act as an integrated, hydrodynamic, energy-dissipating unit as their boundaries are formed by linear, low crown level structuring elements, preferably nonreflecting, overflowable, preferably formed by overflowable rubblemound breakwaters and/or permeable quays, if necessary with these elements discontinuous, dissipating short period gravity waves, their reflection and possible resonances and allowing overflow waters and coastal currents to circulate.
Because of its low crown level and the specificities characterizing its structuring elements, this System preserves sea views and allows surface air to freely circulate and basin water to be renewed., with consequent functional, environmental and scenic advantages. (FIG. 3).
