Abstract

We investigate wave height change on the coral reef which has steep front slope. Data of both regular and irregular wave experiments were used in order to study characteristics of wave deformation including wave breaking. By using a parameter Hrms/d, properties of energy loss by wave breaking on the reef can be obtained. We modified wave energy balance equation model developed by Tajima and Madsen (2005) in order to estimate wave energy on the coral reef. Calculation results show good agreement with experimental data.
