The floating breakwater model was constructed to suit the prototype maximum wave height of 5.4 m and a
maximum water depth of 15 m. A geometrically similar scale of 1:30 was adopted and hence, the range of model
wave heights was 30 mm to 180 mm and the range of water depths of 400 mm to 500 mm. Based on this scale ratio,
the model to prototype scale factors were obtained using Froude’s model law.
