HideyukiNIIZATO and Sumio TAKEDA New permeable type breakwater with low wave reflection performance is developed. This breakwater consists of a slit wall and reservoirs, in which L-type impermeable walls are set up, in front of a permeable vertical wall.As the results of hydraulic model tests on the wave reflection, it is found that the breakwater has very low wave reflection performance for wide frequency range. Furthermore, the experiments on the water exchange performance are carried out, and it is found that the breakwater is effective in water quality improvement of an inner bay.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
