Experimental study on wave energy concentration phenomena and control measures

Taking west Yantai port area as an example,the wave energy concentration in the port area was introduced in this paper.After the construction of breakwater,the mooring condition was not improved as expected.Based on physical model test and theoretical analysis,the reasons for wave energy concentration were found out.According to the physical model test,different control measures were studied,including absorbing wave energy in the concentration area and reducing incident wave and reflected wave.They may serve as a reference for similar projects.
