Abstract
The applicability of a two-dimensional numerical wave flume CADMAS-SURF (Isobe et al., 1999) for wave transmission over breakwaters is examined by comparing existing experimental data (Goda and Takeda., 1966; Hirakuchi et al., 1991) with the results of numerical computations. Simple vertical breakwaters and composite breakwaters with rubble mound foundation are examined. Throughout this study, it is pointed out that CADMAS-SURF has a possibility to reproduce the wave transmission phenomena precisely for both regular and irregular wave conditions. It will provide assistance in the design of breakwaters by providing an estimate of wave transmission coefficients.
