An Experimental Study on the Performance of Wave Dissipation of Artificial Sand Bar

Abstract:

The paper summarizes the results of the performance of wave dissipation of an artificial sand bar experimental study under regular waves .In the experiment, the water levers are 0.00m、design high water level (1.35m) and extreme high water level (2.66m) ,it chooses the corresponding the limit wave height of three kinds of water level ,and analyzes the influences of relative height of artificial sand bar (d/H)、relative water depth of artificial sand bar (R/H) and wave steepness (H/L) on transmission coefficient of wave.The result shows that artificial sand bar has well the performance of consuming wave energy, the incident wave height starts up clearly decrease, while wave passes through artificial sand bar.With changing in conditions of artificial sand bar geometric dimensioning and wave parameter, transmission coefficient of regular waves also Changes.
