Abstract

Wave reflections at and within a coastal harbour may make a significant contribution to wave disturbance in the harbour. Reflected waves may lead to danger to vessels navigating close to structures, and may reduce the availability of berths within the harbour. Wave reflections may also increase local scour or general reduction in sea bed levels. In the design of breakwaters, sea walls, and coastal revetments, it is therefore important to estimate and compare the reflection performance of alternative structure types. In the use of numerical models of wave motion within harbours, it is essential to define realistically the reflection properties of each boundary. This paper presents results from a study of the reflection performance of a wide range of structures used in coastal and harbour engineering.
