Study on Wave Reflection Coefficient and Wave Runup Height on a Slope

摘要

It is important for overtopping wave power generators to reduce the intensity of wave action that propagate on a front slope and to obtain a large overtopping volume. In a fundamental study of overtopping wave power generation, in this work, wave height, period, and the slope angle were varied and the wave runup heights of regular and irregular waves were measured. We sought to determine the dependence of the reflection coefficient on the slope angle and wave characteristics.
