Reflection and Transmission Characteristics of Porous Rubble-Mound Breakwaters

This report presents the results of a study of the reflection and transmission characteristics of porous rubble-mound breakwaters. An attempt was made at making the procedures entirely self-contained by introducing empirical relationships for the hydraulic characteristics of the porous material and by establishing experimentally an empirical...

Wave transmission through rock structures

Application of the energy method leads to a theoretical expression of the coefficient of transmission through a prismatic structure, constructed from rocks of uniform size, for long waves traversing the structure. When the dissipation in the voids is due partly to turbulent forces, the transmissions are expressed by a power formula . The formula...
