The Bragg reflection of monochromatic waves propagating over a rectangular-typed impermeable submerged breakwaters is numerically investigated by using the finite element method. The reflection coefficients calculated from the present model are compared with those of laboratory measurements and the eigenfunction expansion method. A good agreement is observed. The finite element model is also applied to calculate reflection coefficients according to variations of length and width of submerged breakwater.

Analysis of reflection of random waves propagating over rectangular submerged non-porous breakwaters was performed by using the eigenfunction expansion method. In this study, random waves were generated by superposition of several monochromatioc waves. Reflection coefficients were calculated by summing each numerical results of regular waves. Predicted results from the eigenfunction expansion method were in a good agreement with the results of laboratory measurements. Reflection coefficients of random waves were also resonated at the Bragg reflection condition.

본 연구에서는 사석경사제의 전면부에 불투과성 수중방파제를 설치하여, 불규칙파의 반사에 대한 수치모의와 수리모형실험을 수행하였다. 수치해석 모형에는 Reynolds Averaged Navier-stokes (RANS) 방정식을 지배방정식으로 사용하였고, 난류해석을 위하여 $\kappa-\varepsilon$ 방정식을 사용하였다. 자유수면변위의 정확한 예측을 위하여 VOF 기법을 적용하였다. 수리모형실험은 한양대학교 수리실험실의 조파수로에서 수행되었다. 본 연구에서는 입사파랑으로 불규칙파를 조파하였으며, Bretsch neider-Mistuyasu 스펙트럼을 목표스펙트럼으로 하여 재현하였다. 반사율의 산정에서 입사파와 반사파를 분리하기 위하여 수치모형실험에서는 3점법을 사용하였고, 수리모형실험에서는 2점법을 사용하였다. 수치모의를 통하여 예측된 반사율과 수리모형실험에서 관측한 결과는 서로 잘 일치하였다.

In this study, transmission and reflection of multi-directional random waves propagating over impermeable submerged breakwaters are calculated by using eigenfunction expansion method. A series of mutiderectional random waves is generated by using the Bretschneider-Mitsuyasu frequency and Mitsuyasu type directional spectrum. Strong reflection is occurred at the Bragg reflection condition of the peak frequency. If the row of breakwaters is fixed at 3 and the relative height of breakwater is fixed at 0.6, more than 25% of incident wave energy is reflected to offshore. It is also found that the reflection of directionally spreading random waves increases as the maximum spreading parameter $s_{max}$ increases.

This study presents a combined experimental and numerical effort to investigate experimentally and numerically the Bragg reflection of sinusoidal waves due to trapezoidal submerged porous breakwaters. Numerical predictions of the study are verified by comparing to laboratory measurements. In the numerical model, the flow in porous structures is described by the spatially averaged Navier-Stokes equations and the volume of fluid method is employed to track the free surface displacements. Numerical solutions are agree well with laboratory measurements. The reflection coefficients of porous structures are smaller than those of non-porous structures and become stronger in proportion to the increase of number of submerged breakwaters.

A combined experimental and numerical effort is presented for investigation of reflection of irregular waves due to rectangular submerged breakwaters. In the numerical model, the Reynolds equations are solved by a finite difference method and k-$\varepsilon$ model is employed for the turbulence analysis. To track the free surface displacement, the volume of fluid method is employed. Numerical predictions of transmission and reflection coefficients are verified by comparing to laboratory measurements. Very reasonable agreements are observed. The reflection coefficients become stronger in proportion to numbers of submerged breakwaters.

In this study, reflection of water waves over a train of rectangular submerged breakwaters is experimentally investigated. Measured reflection coefficients of regular waves are compared with predicted coefficients obtained from the eigenfunction expansion method. Although measured coefficients are slightly smaller than predicted ones, the overall agreement is very good.

In this study, transmission and reflection of multi-directional random waves propagating over multi-arrayed submerged breakwaters are investigated using eigenfunction expansion method. The numerical analysis on the wave energy reflection of submerged breakwaters with various crown widths is carried out. Strong wave reflection is occurred at the Bragg reflection condition of the peak frequency. When relative heights and crown widths of breakwaters are equal to 0.6 and 0.4h, respectively, more than 25% of wave energy is reflected to off shore.
