SETUP FOR DEPRESSING ENERGY OF WAVES IN COASTAL SEA ZONE Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: hydraulic engineering. SUBSTANCE: wave energy depressing setup is intended for protection of coastal sea zone from harmful action of waves on coastal zone where various objects of national economy are located. Setup has wave energy depressing components which are secured in bottom ground along coastal zone section being protected and are located in perpendicular to wave motion. Each energy depressing component is made in the form of triangle in its cross-section in plane of direction of wave motion. Each triangle is provided with strip at side facing towards sea. Lower side of triangle conjugating with bottom ground has rods protruding beyond its limits. Wave energy depressing components are installed near or slightly below level of wave troughs. Aforesaid arrangement of setup ensures higher stability of wave energy depressing components together with reduced capital input for its construction and operation. EFFECT: higher efficiency. 2 dwg
