ABSTRACT The perforated caisson structure is used in ports and waterways for its wave dissipation performance. This study modifies the traditional SPH method using the Riemann solution and CSPH method to examine the interaction between waves and perforated caissons. A comparative analysis of wave dissipation between single- and double-chambered caissons was conducted, considering various wave conditions. Results show that the best wave dissipation occurs when the perforation ratio of the front plate is higher than that of the back plate, and the front chamber is narrower than the back chamber. Equal chamber widths are beneficial for adapting to diverse wave conditions and minimizing reflection. Additionally, the wave dissipation process of the double-chambered caisson is described in detail, with an analysis of the movement states of characteristic water particles at specific moments.
