Abstract
This paper presents the results of the analysis carried out to design a low-cost passive energy absorber for the multidirectional spectral wave basin of the IMARES-UCR group. The initial analysis was conducted using a small wave flume, which facilitated the execution of tests and the comparison of data with wave dissipaters previously designed by a commercial company what are commonly employe in various wave generation laboratories worldwide. In these initial tests, reflection coefficient values where very similar to those of the compared dissipaters. Once constructed, measurements of the reflection coefficient were performed under different regular wave conditions to determine its behavior. The obtained results are presented, considered acceptable, and enable the proper operation of the wave basin.
