Reflection of Irregular Waves at Partially Reflecting Structures Including Oblique Wave Approach

Abstract
Basic investigations on wave reflection have been performed with different partially-reflecting structures, wave spectra and wave approach angles. In addition to laboratory experiments using both a wave flume and a wave basin, a theoretical solution based on diffraction theory was determined to describe the wave field in the reflection area of various structures. The investigations were restricted to non-breaking wave conditions. The reflection behaviour of structures is expressed by a complex reflection coefficient, containing two parameters, which have to be determined by model tests.
