The moon pool opened in a floating structure significantly affects its wave attenuating performance. In this paper, the hydrodynamic behaviors of several floating breakwaters with moon pool were investigated preliminarily by the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method. For a comparative study,...
