ANTIREFLECTIVE VERTICAL STRUCTURE EXTENDED FOR ATTENUATION OF LOW FREQUENCY WAVES. (2012). Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 1(33), structures.49. https://doi.org/10.9753/icce.v33.structures.49

Abstract

A new maritime vertical structure was designed to improve the antireflective performance for wave reflection of wind waves and oscillations associated with intense storms, resonance waves in port basins, etc. Multiple unit chambers formed with long cell circuits (Medina et al., 2010) are responsible for the low frequency wave absorption that was studied through large-scale model testing.
