Abstract
The wave damping in a rubble mound breakwater has been studied theoretically and experimentally. Various types of damping functions (linear, quadratic and polynomial) have been derived and checked against experimental results from large scale model tests. Damping coefficients have been derived from the hydraulic resistance of the breakwater core material. The result is a general approach for the wave decay inside a rubble mound breakwater that clearly reflects the flow processes inside the structure.
