Based on the W/L ratios used, the range of breakwater widths arrived were from 0.77 m to 4.91 m.
Waves are generated in bursts of 5 waves only, in order to avoid wave distortion due to reflection and re-reflection
from the breakwater structure and the wave paddle. After each burst, wave generation was stopped till tranquility
was achieved in the flume. Thereafter, next burst was generated. The breakwater model was placed in the flume at a
distance of 28 m from the wave generator flap. (Refer Fig.2).
