Experimental study on wave dissipation coefficient for tetrahedron penetrating frames breakwater

Abstract

Tetrahedron penetrating frames is a new breakwater structure.In this paper,the attenuation characteristics of tetrahedron penetrating frames were measured through physical modeling.The effect of the wave period,wave height,the number of rows,underwater penetration,row space,layout,and other factors on the wave transmission coefficient were investigated. The results show that the proposed breakwater has good wave dissipation capacity,which has broad application prospects.
