Summary       Most of the structures for a port must be built in the water, and will inevitably affect the behaviors of the surrounding water waves and currents. A breakwater needs to be built long enough to keep waves from entering the port and keep the waters in the port’s basin stable. In the process,however, the port’s structures also make the local wave and current behavior incredibly complicated. The changes of waves and currents that often occur scour around the head of breakwaters and could threaten the structure’s safety. Moreover, many studies have revealed that the frequency of occurrence and intensity of extreme events triggered by global climate change have increased.Taiwan can’t avoid the impact of climate change in the future. To ensure that the port’s structures can be safe and stable against extreme sea states, it is necessary to further investigate the interaction of waves and currents with the structures.
