Abstract

This paper presents wave transmission and reflection characteristics of a vertically slitted permeable breakwater filled with used automobile tires. A numerical model using the boundary element method is developed. Resistance coefficients for both the region filled with used tires and the slitted walls are determined through matching wave transmission and reflection coefficients obtained from hydraulic experiments with those from numerical computation. The numerical results agree reasonably well with the experimental ones.
