We apply shape optimization techniques to the design of coastal structures such as breakwaters, groins and other innovative shapes. Actually, we compute the solution of a boundary value problem describing the water waves scattered by the structure and modify accordingly its shape, in order to minimize a pre-defined cost function taking into account the strength (energy) of the waterwaves. The optimization procedure relies on a new global semi-deterministic algorithm, able to pursue beyond local minima.engconference paperhttp://www.math.univ-montp2.fr/~azerad/azisebwip.pdfhttp://www.cirm-math.fr/open access519.8:551shape optimizationglobal recursive multi-layer optimizationcoastal engineeringwater wavesscatteringHelmholtz equation.HidrologíaInvestigación operativa (Matemáticas)2508 Hidrología1207 Investigación Operativa
