Wave field around caisson retained artificial islands / by M.G. Skafel, J.T. Judge and C.T. Bishop.: En37-153/1985E-PDF

"Hydraulic model tests at a scale of 1:75 were conducted in a wave basin to obtain preliminary data on freeboard requirements due to wind waves for caisson retained artificial islands. This type of island is envisaged for use as petroleum production facilities in the Beaufort Sea. Parameters varied include caisson planform, presence or absence of a berm, slope of caisson walls. The diffraction effect, sometimes referred to as Mach-stem reflection, is explained. The presence of the berm resulted in increased freeboard requirements. There were no major differences in freeboard requirements between circular and octagonal caissons"--Abstract, page 1.
