Recently, the theoretical and experimental research is being made actively in control character of waves of perforated-wall caisson breakwater like the slit caisson. This study showed that the character of reflection coefficient and the wave pressure acting on the front and inner of slit caisson were estimated in two and three dimensional numerical wave flume and compared each other. The numerical experiment was set and conducted by various cases as to a variety of wave steepness under 7 sec, 9 sec, 11sec and 13 sec period condition. In this study using a 2 and 3 dimensional numerical wave flume, it applied the Model for the immiscible two-phase flow based on the Naveir-Stokes Equations. This technique can easily reproduce a complicated physical phenomenon more than others and organize the program simply. According to the results of the experiment, the reflection coefficient was estimated high in short-period waves. However, 2-dimensional numerical experiment and 3-dimensional numerical experiment were the same in case of the long-period waves and high wave steepness. And to conclude in case of short-period waves the pressures were a relatively small difference between the two, but there was a big gap in longperiod waves and high wave steepness.
