摘要
Laboratory measurements of free surface elevation and velocity were made in front of a model revetment on a plane slope. These measurements were compared to a previous study without a revetment to determine the effect of the structure on the incident waves and undertow. Comparisons showed that for the case of a structure with 40% reflection, the wave transformation was unaffected and the undertow was slightly reduced. The measurements were also compared to existing wave transformation and undertow models. These comparisons showed that these models performed as well for the case of 40% wave reflection as they did for the ease of little wave reflection. Coupling of the ware transformation and undertow models through a calibration coefficient to account for the roller effects was presented, and the cross-shore variation of this coefficient was discussed.
