The incident angle of plane wave is taken as g = 90° , there then is the transmission coefficient ｜T｜ = 1 （This is a paradox）. In this paper, by means of the approximate relation between the transmitted and incident wave angle found from the shape of a slit, the paradoxical phenomenon is removed. On the basis of the continuality of the pressure and flux and the analysis of flow resistance at the row of rectangular piles, formulas of reflection and transmission coefficients are obtained. The transmission and reflection coefficients predicted by the present model quite agree with those of laboratory experiments in previous references展开更多

A series of 2-D physical model experiments were conducted to measure the wave transmission coefficient, tension acting on the mooring line, and motion response of FB under a regular wave. The experimental results of the motion responses and mooring lines indicated that the new perforated plate was evidently effective. Furthermore, the study also discussed and analyzed the influence of the perforated plate on transmission coefficients. The experimental results showed that the new perforated plate did not lead to obvious improvement in the transmission performance展开更多
