Calculation of Trapped Reflected Waves
Publication: Journal of the Waterway, Port, Coastal and Ocean Division
Volume 108, Issue 1
Abstract
An increase in reflected wave energy may result where structures are built along a section of coastline with no beach fronting the structure. In certain instances the structures may combine with a steep bottom slope to form a wave guide which can trap wave energy, magnify wave heights, and increase erosion along an adjacent section of shoreline. Calculations are presented to determine the effects of such trapped wave energy.
