A DEMOUNTABLE WAVE ABSORBER FOR WAVE FLUMES AND BASINS

[摘要] Passive wave absorption is an integral component of the physical modeling environment, used to minimise unwanted reflections of wave energy that compromise test results.This paper reviews data for methods of passive absorbers and then extends this knowledge through the design and implementation of a device that can be removed from the working water surface.The modeling tests that were carried out in this paper demonstrate that a parabolic spending beach can perform by absorbing waves with coefficients of reflection Cr(energy) significantly <10%.
