Book Description
A new method is presented for estimating the reflection of a random, multi-directional sea from a coastal structure. The technique is applicable to an array of wave gauges of arbitrary geometry deployed seaward of the reflector. An expansion for small oblique wave incidence angles is used to derive an approximate relationship between measured array cross-spectra and a small number of parameters that describe the incident wave properties and the reflectivity of the structure. Model tests with simulated array data demonstrate that for wave incidence angles less than about 30 deg the new technique provides accurate and robust estimates of the gross properties of incident and reflected waves. The new method is applied to array data acquired offshore of a permeable, rubble mound breakwater in Monterey Bay, California. The estimated reflection coefficients decrease approximately linearly with creasing frequency. Whereas the observed reflections depend only weakly on the incident wave energy, the fraction of the incident wave energy flux transmitted through the breakwater decreases with increasing wave energy, suggesting that dissipation is enhanced with large amplitude waves.

Wave Reflection and Transmission at Permeable Breakwaters

ISBN:
Category : Breakwaters
Languages : en
Pages : 238
Book Description
Rubble mound breakwaters are designed to protect exposed marine areas from excessive wave activity. Observations of breakwaters inter-acting with surface waves in laboratory models and in full-scale field applications demonstrate that significant wave energy is transmitted through the interstices of structures commonly regarded as impervious. The objective of this investigation is the development of a theoretical analysis to account for this phenomenon. Three breakwater configurations are considered: (1) crib style breakwaters with vertical walls and homogeneous fill, (2) conventional trapezoidal shape breakwaters with layered fill, and (3) pile array breakwaters composed of vertical piles placed in symmetric patterns. The two dimensional problem is studied. Waves are assumed to arrive at normal incidence. (Author).
